@ blue_brian - you don't need to do fresh installs to get these from the DVD. get a copy of MainMenu and after you place it in the applications folder, run it and from the drop-down menu, select "Finder"->"Show Invisibles" then open your DVD and go to /System/Installation/Packages/ to find the right install packages for you. This is good if you like a certain distro but it doesn't include certain files, because then you can load a different distro and get the files you need.

Hope this helps.

P.S. I use PCWiz's "OSx86 Tools Utility" and select "view PCI Device/Vendor ID"... when looking at it, for example, my ethernet is:
Code:
Bridge [0680]: nVidia Corporation MCP61 Ethernet [10de:03ef]
so my Device ID is "0x03ef10de"... make sense?
