First, there isn't an Ethernet card Linux can't find these days, so that's kind of an empty argument. Second, so you go spend five minutes on nvidia.com downloading the drivers, and another five to install them. Big fat hairy deal. If you're so pent up about it, why not go make your own apt-source and slap it into your own unofficial/non-free? -- Paul Johnson Email and IM (XMPP & Google Talk): [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabber: Because it's time to move forward http://ursine.ca/Ursine:Jabber
