    Hiya,

    Try running "modprobe 8139too" as root, that should load the driver for your network card.

    If that does not work, can you post any more info about your network card model?

    The NForce2 Ultra chipsets run best with Kernel 2.6.3 or higher. I could never could get Fedora Core 1 or Mandrake 9.2 to work quite right. You might be able to update the Kernel, or just do what I did and use Mandrake 10.0 CE. All the onboard NVIDIA chips now actually work like they are supposed to...fast!

    well i actually got the nvnet to work this is what i did.

    1.) Download the .tar
    2.) ./configure, Make and Make install
    3.) modprobe nvnet
    4.) use network config program to setup the nvnet
    5.) Enable it

    the only problem I have now for some reason is that on shutdown it freezes when trying to stop eth0
