Are you using the integrated network card on the nforce2 board? I am, and I was able to get it working by downloading the platform drivers, extracting, then doing "make" and "make install". You have to then add "nvnet" to /etc/modules. I was able to "insmod nvnet" immediately after make install. It did it, but gave me a warning. I then typed "netcardconfig" and set it to use dhcp. It works now at boot up and I haven't had any problems. Hope that helps.
