All of your response is geared towards Linux. But this is a FreeBSD 
list. Different operating system. Different kernel. While most things 
in "userland" will be identical, the kernel and associated 
infrastructure are very different.

The net/nvnet port is a nForce2 MCP Ethernet driver. This builds a 
FreeBSD wrapper around part of NVidia's Linux driver. The tricky part 
will be getting this installed without the network.
