About nForce network driver:
This is a quick-and-dirty port of the Linux nForce network driver (forcedeth.c) to Zeta. It is licensed under the GNU General Public License. The driver will not work on BeOS R5.

This driver should be compatible with most nForce chipsets, but it has only been tested on an nForce2 mainboard.

(On my computer, DHCP does not work. Since other members of the YellowTAB discussion board with different network cards have this problem, too, I guess it's not a bug in this driver, but a bug in the Zeta DHCP client. Using a static IP address works fine.)

Update: With the new DHCP update from yellowTAB, the DHCP problems are gone. Thanks to BeAthlon for the tip!
