Yes! That -- combined with the 
ftp://download1.nvidia.com/XFree86/nforce/1.0-0301/ -- worked!

It currently reports the status of 100baseTX, even though, according to the 
switch, the connection is at 1Gb. But this is such a minor issue compared to 
having no network at all...

Could update the net/nvnet port? When 5.4 gets released, I imagine plenty of 
people to be in my position...

Thanks! Yours,
