This spell installs drivers for motherboards based on NVIDIA's nForce
chipset. It will install a network driver (nvnet.o) which is linked
against a binary only object included in the package. Also installs a
patched version of the i810 sound driver (nvaudio.o).

This spell may belong in z-rejected because of the binary only object used
for the network driver! However, the NVIDIA_kernel and NVIDIA_GLX spells
seem to have been spared z-rejected status though they are covered by the
same license: http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=nv_swlicense

This spell should also be added to the POST_INSTALL of the various kernel
flavors (at least until some better spell triggering/dependency is used).

Spell also available from:

I also submitted this a couple of weeks ago via bugzilla:
