!! Network
The network controller on nForce2 based boards only works with a binary driver called nvnet that is supplied by nvidia in the package above. This seems to work fine and give reasonable performance.
!! Sound
-I've heard of people
(CraigBox, PhilMurray
) getting sound working on a nForce2 board using both
the i810_audio module in the kernel and also with the nvidia supplied binary module from the package above. I've not been able
to get this running successfully yet
using either module. The nVidia binary module locks
the machine solid, and i810_audio produces no sound despite everything appearing to work correctly
.
+Provided you have your motherboard correctly setup
(See [GA-7N400Notes]
) you should be able to use
the kernel supplied
i810_audio module to get sound
using the nvidia chipset
.

! IDE Controller
I had some fun getting my hard disk running in a decent mode with my motherboard. It seems that the IDE "fixes" applied between 2.4.20 and 2.4.21 have broken compatibility for the nForce2 IDE chipset and you can only get 16-bit PIO mode. I've not yet investigated exactly what changed between the two kernels to break this.
