Either CONFIG_FORCEDETH still exists, or in the 7 or so hours since I |
| 42 |
last synced a new kernel has come out that doesn't have it. I found it |
| 43 |
under Device Drivers->Network Devices->Ethernet cards (10 and 100 |
| 44 |
Mbit)->PCI and built-in. |

No idea about the SATA stuff, sorry. |

The nVidia file is the proprietary package for nvidia-driver (or |
| 49 |
whatever the pkg name is) version 66.26, in case no one else mentioned |
| 50 |
it yet. |
