The 390.xx series driver was the last nvidia driver release that
supported a 32-bit OS install. Hence there are no new driver releases
for el6 i386 architecture.
Driver releases after 390.xx only support installation on 64-bit
operating systems, but 32-bit library support is still available on
systems where the user wants to run graphics 32-bit applications.
