Well, if it doesn't, I've discovered Magic-Fi networking...

Re: arch nforce2 support
yeah, i always use the forcdeth in 2.6 also, but i was having problems booting into that kernel. i tried modprobing nvnet in 2.4, but it didn't work. i knew it could work because i had ethernet in a stock slack10 install with 2.4, but i had long since modified that and i wasn't sure what driver to use (thanks for the non-answer answer, aCoder 
).
apparently you need to have /dev filesystem support in the kernel or else the console can't start. i finally figured it out and was able to boot into 2.6.7 with forcedeth, but that should be in a faq somewhere! :shock:

You mean like right in the install docs? http://www.archlinux.org/docs/en/guide/ … .html#faq2
I'm pretty sure it's also been mentioned numerous times on the forum.
