The kernel module is forcedeth. It doesn't autodetect so do a modprobe and 
then set up the network. It does exist on the minimalist install cd 2004.1 
and I assume the others too.

With the nforce chipset I needed to remove the ACPI and APIC options in the 
kernel. Using noapic and similar lines didn't disable the kernel. With the 
ACPI and APIC the machine freezes periodicly. Without those its fantastic.

Keep the conversion going ;-)
