   After I replied last time I had cause to find a driver for the nVIDIA 
MCP NIC chip built-in to my Asus A7N266-VM mainboard and found that 
drivers for that is still under development...

See http://www.os2warp.be/index2.php? and click on GenMAC driver
The discussion by Willibald Meyer seems to say what the problem is 
generally.  He does have "As-is" drivers to try.
