The 3c90x entries will get nuked by kudzu when it first boots 9.0, and
the hack in the install code is pinned to 8.4 installs only. (At least,
I think they'll get nuked; since there's no 3c90x driver at all in 9.0,
and it works, it must get dealt with somehow. I've got a machine with
this install upgrading to 9.0 right now to see exactly what happens.)
That said, we probably should address this directly at some point in 9.0,
since 8.4 machines autoregenerate a conf.modules file (despite the fact
that it doesn't really do much) and having them both lying around for the
future is bad juju.
