Hi Jason,
I had to configure nvnet on a A7N266-VM once, and I went through this
very same hell you're describing. Fortunatelly, there is a solution.
Take a look here:
http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nforce/1.0-0261/ReleaseNotes_Linux_nForce_1.0-0261.html#module_parameters
IIRC all you have to do is play with 'optimization' parameter (I guess
you have to set it to 'CPU optimization'). Adding this to
/etc/modules.conf should do the trick:
options nvnet optimization=1
Hint: run 'modinfo nvnet' as root and you will get a simple help.
