Possibly you can try out compiling the 2.6.17.13 kernel with the NIC
driver built-in. Pulling in the netinst iso may not help, a similar
situation here with the via sata drivers for my asus mobo.
I had a similar problem with my ASUS motherboard and kernel 2.6.8 off
the netinstall disk. The solution was to pass the kernel a
'skip-timer-override' option or some such at boot (google this phrase if
needed). Newer kernels do this automatically if nForce 4 chipsets are
detected so an upgrade to a newer kernel should work.
