No, I would not expect any problems with other chip sets. The 8200 is the
only one that is affected; even the 8300 embedded chip set works OK. The
8200 is the only chip set that is an embedded only series and has
apparently got forgotten along the way.
I have systems with the 8300 embedded and 8600 PCI-E slot cards working
properly.
