Ethernet network
Integrated ethernet controller is a modified realtek chip. Linux support is currently based on reverse engineered documentation written by Carl-Daniel Hailfinger and Andrew de Quincey. It is not endorsed or in any way supported by NVidia Corp. The driver is called forcedeth and distributed along with the mainstream 2.6 kernel, thus making it GPL.
