My problems installing the nvidia linux drivers probably have everything to do with me not knowing anything about linux. The only issue I had was that my NIC was recognized, but wouldn't show up as a configurable adapter. Someone mentioned that their board worked fine on a fresh install, but that was an Asus board, commonly know as "the board to get". My Leadtek is commonly referred to as "you got what & why?" I was able to get my extra NIC online w/o problems and everything is working as expected. I'm completely happy -- and completely lost. I've worked with computers for a long time and I never really forced myself into the linux world. I work in a 100% microsoft IT shop so I don't really have any incentive to learn linux, other than I'm completely bored with microsoft and I'm looking for a new challenge. Besides, I'm a web administrator and what web-related person could consider themself that w/o understanding linux! Again, I thank you all for your patience with me and hopefully I'll be able to become a productive member of this linux community.
