You have to download and install the nForce chipset drivers for Linux. They are available from the NVIDIA download site. I had to do the same for my nForce3 motherboard (NF8, also from ABIT), but in my case it came on a CD shipped with the board.

p/s:disable your network device in BIOS setting b4 instaling the driver..and then enable it again..otherwise,linux don't detect your eth0
