Well, that would be a bit of work if you have other packages to take
care of for each kernel update. I suppose upgrading to CentOS 5 is
not an option for you? If your NIC is supported in C5, it might be a
better solution in the long run. I have a couple of nforce 430 +
onboard NIC systems running the C5 distro kernel and they work at
gigabit speed.
