I think my network adapter is ether not configured correctly or not configured. I ran hwinfo --network and received:

Not configured at all.
No driver loaded, and in the database there is no driver known for it (database means, hwinfo respectively the *map files below /lib/modules/$kernelversion).
Sorry, I don't know nothing about network controllers made by nVidia, maybe a google search or someone else can help.

Interesting part is what kind of chip it uses. If you can find that out, there might already be a driver available that can handle it, even though it might be necessary to convince it first by teaching it a new vendor/device id.
