On my system, I've found that there is no need for the nforce4 drivers since all the nforce4 hardware is detected and works with the open-source kernel modules.

Is there a specific piece of hardware you are having trouble with?

No any problems really

. it is as u have said, they have been all detected. But I thought that it is good to use the driver for it.

If it ain't broke...

The last update to those drivers seems to be November 23, 2005... that's pre-FC5... I wouldn't bother.

Hello:
As others have noted, there is no need to install those drivers unless you have an older kernel.
