Most of the time I use the Debian kernel images. Why should I build my
own when it already works perfectly. And why turn of a network driver.
You never know if you will have a need to run one of those cards next
month. I also find it handy to be able to use a kernel build in a lot
of different machines efficiently. Disk space is plentiful, I don't
mind wasting a few MB on unused driver modules.
