I did have a few problems. NVidia support

the 2.6.8 FC2 kernel broke the nvnet drivers. To let things settle
down, I have temporarily installed a Tulip derived 100baseTX card.
Have you tried the forcedeth driver that comes with the kernel?
Yes, I have tried it. I expect that nvnet and forcedeth are "fighting" each other. nvnet must have removed something that forcedeth needed. For the time being, the tulip card is working fine. I expect that this will get sorted out sometime in the FC3 test phase. I'm not in a hurry and am, in general, quite happy with the machine.
