You do have the kernel-source package for the 2.4.22-1.2129 kernel
installed, right?
I have a GigaByte GA-7N400 Pro 2 mobo, with the nforce2 chipset. The
onboard lan is not the nvidia lan, but is a RealTek 8169. I am not even
running the nvidia drivers, I loaded them, and the audio drivers did not
work well at all. (The audio sounded like it was sped up with lots of
clipping and distortion.) I used the snd-intel8x0 driver and audio is
great. If you actually do have the nvidia lan, you will probably need
the nvidia driver. You might want to upgrade to the 2135 kernel and
install the source. (There are 2 later kernels than 2135, but 2140 froze
on me 3 times with nothing in the logs, so I backed down to 2135. Have
not tried 2149, yet).
Try doing a lspci |grep -i ether and see what it says for your
nic. If it says it's an nvidia nic, you will probably need the nvidia
driver.
