List, especially FC4/5 guru's

1.  When I login to user session, I get a warning that $HOME/rick/.dmrc is
ignored, need to be owned by usr. I have the following:
[rick at RSivernell ~]$ ll .dmrc
-rw------- 1 rick users 24 Jun  4 13:46 .dmrc
[rick at RSivernell ~]$ more .dmrc

2.  I would like to install a Nvidia Marvel gigabit lan driver for the built in
lan on my Asus mobo. I have the driver, but it does not like the kernel setup:

What is wrong with this or how do I set this up properly so the driver can
do its thing. driver log:
