Hi,
See my other post on this subject, you can just try
modprobe nvnet
and if the module is not present on the CD,
emerge nforce-net
it would help if you have the sources present - get them from
http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nforce/NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0256.tar.gz
prior to installing.
According to Nvidia this driver doesn't work on 2.6 (I tried it - it
didn't compile), so afaik you'd better use 2.4.
