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!
