Alternatively you could do what I did and stick a generic NIC into it
and use that instead :-P  Saves headaches that way.  Also, if you
compile your own kernel, /don't/ enable local APIC support as on many
nforce2 boards (including mine) this will leave you with a hideously
unstable system.

Cheers,

Cameron.
