nforce nvnet driver note

[Jason Cortezzo]

I just installed Fedora Core 1 on my A7N266-VM nforce2 system.

I downloaded the nforce drivers from Nvidia.  The package comes with 
audio, nic, and agp drivers but my video and audio seem to work fine 
with whatever gets setup during installation of FC.  So, I compiled and 
installed the nvnet driver for the integrated nic.

I was having a problem with mouse lag (jerkiness) whenever there was 
network activity.  It occured both in X and in the the text console.  
After some research I found that there is a driver option called 
"optimization" for the nvnet module.  The default setting is "throughput 
optimization" and the other setting is "CPU optimization".  I found that 
by switching to "CPU optimization" that the mouse problem went away.

I added the following line to my /etc/modules.conf file...
options nvnet optimization=1

in addition to the line which was already there (added by kudzu, I guess)
alias eth0 nvnet

I hope this info is helpful to someone.
