On my FC5 box, I have:

NVIDIA != Marvel
Which are you trying to use?

The NFORCE driver supports the nForce NIC in older (pre 2.6.16) kernels
and older nForce motherboards (nForce, nForce2, nForce3).  However, the
forcedeth driver in recent (2.6.16) kernels provides the same support.
That's what you should be using if you have an nForce NIC.

The Marvel NIC has a driver which exists in 2.6.16 kernels as well.

I used this motherboard yesterday.  The latest FC5 kernel supports its NIC
without any problems.
