This is one of the drivers I will be tracking carefully in -proposed.
0.59 is the most recent snapshot, but I will be updating it regularly.

I'm attaching a properly patched forcedeth.c file too.
I cleaned it of unnecessary parts used for older kernels (2.6.15). It should 
be ok for edgy too.

I've been able to update to the latest forcedeth 0.60 in the following
way I'm going to describe.

Before all:
-I'm using kernel 2.6.15-27-amd64-k8, so change version numbers accordingly to 
yours;

1)Download latest nvidia nforce package
2)For Dapper, I suggest you using forcedeth.c file contained under Fedora5 
folder of the downloaded package
3)Install build-essential plus linux-headers-2.6.15-27-amd64-k8
4)Copy forcedeth.c into some folder, e.g. /home/willytp/forcedeth
5)Into this folder, make a file called Makefile containing the following line:
obj-m := forcedeth.o
6)Into this folder, execute the following command:
make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15-27-amd64-k8/ SUBDIRS=$PWD modules
7)Copy the just created forcedeth.ko module into
/lib/modules/2.6.15-27-amd64-k8/kernel/drivers/net/
overwriting the old one
8)Execute this command: sudo depmod -a
9)Make a new initrd image: go into /boot/ folder, locate your initrd image, 
save it name, delete the file, and execute the following command:
mkinitramfs -o initrd.img-2.6.15-27-amd64-k8
10)Cross fingers and reboot ;)

Hoping to help someone, I've attached a file here, containing the
appropriate forcedeth.c, the Makefile, a little script to build and the
binary file which will work *only* for 2.6.15-27-amd64-k8 kernel.

** Attachment added: forcedeth.c makefile, build script and binary module.
