I tried downloading the latest driver's from NVidia's site here: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nforce/1.23/NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.23.zip
However, the RPMs that are provided are compiled for a specific kernel and don't work with the latest Centos 5.1 kernel. They also provide a .c file for compile but no makefile. I'm going to try and figure that out.
Fedora 8, however, works right out of the box, and detects everything, except if you want to run Xen (which I do) and then the nic is once again not detected. I'll post more when I figure out more.
Thanks,
david
