It was in 9.1:

$ urpmf nvnet.o
NVIDIA_nforce-2.4.21-0.13mdk:/lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/drivers/net/nvnet.o.gz

Unfortunately these SRPMS aren't available, so it has been impossible to 
update them (ie in Club), so I guess some people are stuck running 0.13mdk 
or without a NIC (unlike the NVIDIA dispaly card users who get updates in 
Club since I had an old SRPM around which I have been maintaining).
