What kernel driver for the integrated nforce2 lan adapter?

I got the source, but I can't seem to compile anything (even the kernel) on debian. I selected all the gcc and other "development" stuff during the install, but all builds seem to fail.
Maybe I'll retire this machine for a day and drop gentoo onto it

Could you elaborate on this a little more? I have the newest stable version of debian available on their site, and there is no nvnet driver anywhere in their CD setup. I have been trying like hell to get a new kernel on there, but all the builds fail.
It´s not on the Debian CDs, since the nvidia drivers aren´t Free software. Instead you have to go to the nvidia site and get the tar.gz from them
You didn´t tell me the error message you get, so I assume it´s the "modversions.h not found" one. Install the kernel-headers with apt-get for your kernel and you should be able to compile the nforce drivers

Well, I gave up on debian at that time and went ahead and installed gentoo today.
Again, the make fails. The error it gives is "/usr/libs/blah/blah not found, exiting"
or something similar to that. Other stuff was going wrong too, so I figure I missed a step in the install somewhere (I was installing it from memory
)EDIT: Damn I didn't realize there was an ebuild for nforce-net.
I got it now
