Hi,

I fixed and customized 274 drivers from NVIDIA for both NIC and audio. I 
also wrote a new specfile, so that the version number depends on the 
kernel version number: this allows to install and maintain easily one 
version for each kernel.

If someone is interested i can post the SRPM here (well, i hope it is 
legal: i didn't read the NVIDIA license very carefully).
Actually, what would be even better for me is that these drivers are 
integrated by someone in a repository and kept in sync with WB3...

Lastly, the forcedeth OSS driver for the NIC has been backported to 2.4, 
so there is still hope that in a future update it is put directly into 
the RHEL/WB 3 kernel.
