Asus Maximus 7 Hero (l218-v) and Linux

[a457]

Hello community!
I hope you can help me.

I've bought the Asus Maximus 7 Hero mobo and installed openSuSE. The problem is that I just can't connect to the internet.

I also have Windows 8.1 where I had to install the drivers for the Network Card in order to connect, unfortunately this is not an option in Linux.

The Network Card is called:

Intel l218-v

Is there anything I can do? Is the Motherboard too new?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply!

Forgot to mention: I want to install openSuSE 13.1.
Currently I can only enter the live mode because I don't want to install it in vain since I have to reinstall Windows again (dualboot only works when I install Linux first, then Windows and then change the Bootmanager entries)

I tried it with a driver from the posted link but only in the live mode. Don't know if the installation even worked? I had no internet connection
