I suspect you don't have the correct module loaded. Try running 
"modconf" and see if you can find the appropriate driver for your nforce 
board. Alternatively, if you know the correct module by name, you can 
simply "modprobe <module_name>", and if testing shows the network to 
work, add this module name to "/etc/modules".

After either the modprobe or the modconf, you'll want to restart your 
networking with "/etc/init.d/networking restart".
