Oups, it seems this one missed me in my mails list .... :o)
I find this a very good idea ! A lot of people ask (for example on the
forum) how to install on top of nvidia chipset (sata_nv for the sata and
forcedeth for the nic) with a newer module (that can handle their newer
chipset) that the one provided in centos default kernel ... pointing
them to http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_nforce_1.21.html is one
thing, but having a wiki page explaining that and the yumplugin in case
of new kernel install is a better thing ..
