Notes and Observations:
1. RedHat 5.3 installs Realtek 8169 driver by default; must uninstall 8169 and install 8168 driver obtained from ftp://66.104.77.130/cn/nic/r8168-8.008.00.tar.bz2
2. Redhat 5.3 requires installation of WiFi adapter microcode from RedHat supplemental CD. Install the /supplementary/iwl5000-firmware-5.4.A.11-2.noarch.rpm
3. Installed the NVidia driver: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_180.29.html
4. See the following notes for installing all of the devices under SLED 10 SP2
