nVidia used to distribute their own nForce drivers for their chipsets that you could download from the same place you got the video drivers, but the last time I went looking they encouraged users to use the existing drivers already provided by their distributions if available. For example, the open-source "forcedeth" driver works with the nVidia ethernet. For more details, check http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_nforce_1.11.html.
I'm using forcedeth for the ethernet adapter on my DFI NFII Ultra Infinity motherboard (nForce 2 chipset) with great results under CentOS 4.4. I've got a line containing "alias eth0 forcedeth" in my /etc/modprobe.conf file and everything works fine.
Hope that helps!
