Hi again,
I just browsed several other repositories...
Did someone test those RPMS:
http://atrpms.net/name/forcedeth/
The SRPM from RH9 should recompile easily on WBEL3. And this should be a
better alternative, since forcedeth driver is GPL'ed.
I don't have access to the nForce2 box today, so i cannot test...
