I think the issue is with the Realtek RTL8211 Gigabit Ethernet controller that the board uses and not the nVidia chipset.
A quick solution might be to find any 10/100 NIC and see if that works instead. I looked and did not find what module to load for the RTL-8211 chip.
Knowing how the various releases of chips are often so common in a family, maybe it matches the RTL 8169/8110s on a NIC card in one of my machines? The driver loaded for that is r8169. Give it a try after boot. If it works, you can pop it into your initrd, update init or configs and make a new initrd.
