Summary0002847: Please add nvidia-340xx legacy drivers to kali repository ( a lot of GPU's that are rendered unusuable if not )
Description

Please add nvidia-340xx legacy drivers to kali repository

A lot of GPU's are unusable because they are unsupported for being "old"

Yet these older GPU's still have good crunch power and a lot of users are still using them.

This affects bumblebee/primus packages too, since a new bumblebee-nvidia340 package may be needed to enable older Optimus laptops.
