[PD] nForce chipset

[Pall Thayer]

Hi,

I have a machine with an nforce chipset that I installed RedHat onto and I
had to download and install the drivers for the onboard nic from the nvidia
website. This is probably the reason it didn't work under your Mandrake
install. After installing the driver everything was fine.
