Hi there, I'm trying to solve a long-standing problem with installation
of CentOS & Fedora on our nForce-430-based motherboards.

The forcedeth kernel module has been pretty fast-moving over the last
few kernels and to support our current boards, we need a really fresh
version which is generally only found in 2.6.19 or 2.6.20.  nVidia
backport these drivers to earlier kernels here:

Matthew,

Although you said you cannot consider newer distros, what about
different or older hardware?  If someone insists on running a distro
that doesn't have the drivers you need, I would consider them
"unsupported" and they can deal with older hardware or a newer
release.  :)

If you try to support each nuance requested by end users, you'll run
out of time.
