Robert,
	I had the same problem with another nforce2 board and RH9.  I found a 
driver by googling for nvnet redhat.  There is a project for an open 
source nvnet driver at http://sourceforge.net/projects/forcedeth/ but it 
doesn't appear ready yet.  If you can find a module prebuilt for your 
current kernel, that would be easy to install.  Other wise you may have 
to recompile the kernel, which can be done but may be much for someone 
new to linux.

Good Luck,

Dale
