>Description:
	The NVidia NForce ethernet device is currently not
supported. This bug report includes a fix that provides that support -
but the support requires the inclusion of an NVidia supplied library,
i.e. not source code, and thus the support is a loadable kernel module
instead of a kernel device driver.
>How-To-Repeat:
	You can't use a NVidia NForce ethernet device
>Fix:
	Include the loadable kernel module found at:
http://www.morgart.com/NetBSD/nVidia/nvnet/index.html either as a new
package or as a i386 kernel module.
