Meet nvnet (otherwise known as more dodgy binary nvidia drivers).
2.4.recent has support for everything except the network driver.  2.6.x
has the same, but IIRC neither the ati nor the nvidia drivers
compile/work.

I have the misfortune currently of having an nforce2 mobo with an ati
9600 pro graphics card.  Binary drivers for all!  Still looking for the
(virgin) goats, chickens, black candles, and Necronomicon.  A pocket
Bruce Campbell (no, not the HUMBUG one) might also help.
