Sorry I don't know the source of the driver other than it is whatever
comes with Centos 5.1.

I have only had the box a few weeks.  The first 9650 I got was dead.  It
wouldn't even come up to the BIOS.  I upgraded the motherboard and 9650
BIOS before I did anything and the replacement has just worked with
Centos 5.1, so I haven't had cause to look into it any further.
