Hello all.
I have an onboard network port on my athlon and use the nvidia nforce
drivers to handle network connections.
I download the drivers from http://www.nvidia.com/linux and manually
compile them against my current kernel.
This is a pain so I tend to exclude kernel updates from my standard yum
updates which probably isn't a brilliant idea.
Can I just "make this work" using yum?
I've noticed kernel-module-nvidia-2.6.8-1.521 on the livna yum
repository and some detail on fedoraforum but am a bit nervous about
getting going down this road.
How does the process work?
If I go ahead and allow kernel updates in my standard yum update script
will this nvidia module keep my network card (and me) happy?
Thanks for any help.
