This thread 
<http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=ca9497c7d7d49def575a5455b1e102c2&t=57791> 
contains information from people who are having problems with the 
forcedeth driver on NVidia boards and how some of them solved it. 
Personally, I have not had any problems with the forcedeth driver 
compiled for either x86 or x86_64 (I run a custom distribution: MiniMyth).
