I grabbed the srpm and tried to build NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.src.rpm. MyYou do have the kernel-source package for the 2.4.22-1.2129 kernel installed, right?
current kernel is 2.4.22-1.2129.nptl. Here's what happens:

I have a GigaByte GA-7N400 Pro 2 mobo, with the nforce2 chipset. The onboard lan is not the nvidia lan, but is a RealTek 8169. I am not even running the nvidia drivers, I loaded them, and the audio drivers did not work well at all. (The audio sounded like it was sped up with lots of clipping and distortion.) I used the snd-intel8x0 driver and audio is great. If you actually do have the nvidia lan, you will probably need the nvidia driver. You might want to upgrade to the 2135 kernel and install the source. (There are 2 later kernels than 2135, but 2140 froze on me 3 times with nothing in the logs, so I backed down to 2135. Have not tried 2149, yet).
Try doing a lspci |grep -i ether and see what it says for your nic. If it says it's an nvidia nic, you will probably need the nvidia driver.
