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.
