i think you can safely try the new nforce drivers
it builds two modules
if they don't work go back to the old config and all is fine
but if evrything works now you don't need any other drivers :-)it was just a thought because i can't test the package because i have no nforce chipset based board
k...I'll give 'em a go afterwhile....I'd do right now, but have a carpenter on the way to do some house repairs & I must get everything in order. I'll report bak on how they work.

]]>i think you don't need to load eth0 in modules list
it's loaded automatically with the networkby the way
i added the nvidia nforce drivers to staging a while ago
pacman -S nforce
perhaps some of you want to try it
enjoy
You are correct, sir...removed the eth0 from modules list & networking still work fine. TYVM for the suggestion. I'm scared to try the NF2 drivers, as I've read they don't work. I have everything pretty well lined out now...don't wanna mess it up. From what I've gathered the only driver that works for nforce2 onboard lan is the reverse engineered nvidia module (forcedeth0)...I'm far from a linux expert so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure I've seen some try the NF2 drivers w/ no success in getting the onboard lan up & running.

and the card is not showing up, it's not working.
if it's working you can go on and configure your network conf.
and remove it from rc.conf's module list

I've tried this, but it's the same problem.

for kernel 2.6 all you need to get your network running is adding forcedeth to the modules section of /etc/rc.conf then ensuring that your ip address is correct. if you have a router with dhcp enabled, it is really easy, but you will need to know something about networking if you don't.
]]>After an Archlinux basic installation i can't get the nforce2-network (Asus A7N8X-X) working. I tried loading the forcedeth module and installing the nvidia-drivers. But nothing worked.
Has someone a suggestion or a link to some nforce2-howtos?
