Full Changelog

Hi,

Here goes the third pre of v2.4.30.

It contains a small number of scattered fixes, most notably
e1000 update, a backport of v2.6’s nForce override fix, and SATA
update.

The changes which broke “tar –verify” on tapes have been
reverted.

Please read the changelog for more details.
