Hi,

Welcome to LQ!

Your reference to netcard, should be NIC (Network Interface Card) or you can use Network adapter. These are the correct terms for wired interface.

As for the nforce, a search on LQ for this forum will get you a lot of information!

HTH!

You may ned to enable support for the nforce in your kernel

did you try the 2.6 kernel on the CD?
if so make sure you install the 2.6 modules
