new nForce chipset Linux drivers available!

[TheFishingGeek]

Found this yesterday, thought it would be worth putting up for those of you using the nForce motherboards in Linux.

Drivers can be downloaded here.

Changelist is as follows:

Most recent changes at top of list. Each bullet indicates a public release on NVIDIA web site.

* Fixed problem with compiler arguments between gcc3.X and gcc2.X

Changed installation script to use lowest available number when enumerating network and audio devices in modles.conf

Changed audio driver to be self contained source file based off i810_audio driver.

Added SPDIF support to audio driver

Updated binary packages for latest releases of RedHat kernels.

Added FAQ section to release notes.

* Added PCI ID support for MCP2 and MCP2 to the i810_audio driver.

Some cleanup of spec file and Makefiles

SRPMs and tar files now use local system's i810_audio.c file, and complain if it's not there; this makes them more distro independent.

* Changed code to compile properly with gcc3.X and gcc2.X

Added support for Mandrake9.0 and Redhat8.0

nForce2 support for network driver.

I installed the Mandrake RPM and all seems good on my K7N2-L. Of course, I wasn't having problems before...

woot woot!

Though RH9 works fine I'll still do it just to be safe


EDIT:

RH9 isn't up there? Should I try to RHY 8.0 version or should I play it safe and wait for RH9 to appear since its working fine right now?

Should I try to RHY 8.0 version or should I play it safe and wait for RH9 to appear since its working fine right now?

If it's working don't mess with it.
