Hey Kai,
I tried downloading the latest driver's from NVidia's site here: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nforce/1.23/NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.23.zip However, the RPMs that are provided are compiled for a specific kernel and don't work with the latest Centos 5.1 kernel. They also provide a .c file for compile but no makefile. I'm going to try and figure that out.
Fedora 8, however, works right out of the box, and detects everything, except if you want to run Xen (which I do) and then the nic is once again not detected. I'll post more when I figure out more.
Thanks,
david

I've also tried with Nvidia's forcedeth module to no avail.
This driver is not from Nvidia! It's a back-engineered driver and doesn't necessarily support the latest hardware. Check the Nvidia site (not the Realtek site!) for the latest Linux drivers. You will have to recompile the kernel module with each updated kernel.
Do I need a newer version of the forcedeth driver?
You could check their website if the latest version supports what the current Centos 5 version doesn't (yet).
Read the thread from Dec. 28 starting with MID 1779.10.1.1.17.1198860842.squirrel@www.arcoscom?
