Sometimes you'll notice, when doing large transfers over your LAN, that your CPU usage goes through the roof and eth0 generates up to 500,000 interrupts a second. The nvnet driver is to blame; you can either load the module with 'optimizations=1' to optimize for CPU usage instead of throughput (interestingly, this doesn't seem to affect throughput at all)
If you're using kernel 2.6, you will have to [patch the NVidia source|http://penna.dyn.dhs.org/nvnet.2.5-1.diff] to make nvnet run.

-The nvnet driver claims to support [WOL], but doesn't. The ForcedEth
driver supports [WOL], but seems to disable it by default. You need a program called ethtool to set the WOL status each time you boot. See WakeOnLanNotes for more details.

!! Sound
Provided you have your motherboard correctly setup (see below) you should be able to use the kernel supplied OSS i810_audio module to get sound using the nvidia chipset. You can get better facility out of the nvaudio module but it's hard to get going.
