After installing the standard 2.0.33 kernel source from the SuSE 5.2
CDROM, I found that there wasn't any Epic 100 driver which I need for my
SMC EtherPower II network card. I ended up downloading the whole SuSE
2.0.35 kernel source and installing that intead.

First Impressions:

The newer aic7xxx driver in the 2.0.35 kernel initializes my AHA2940UW
card much quicker making the whole bootup process noticeably faster.
