Resend, but only to freebsd-current. Somehow, my client has dropped  
freebsd-current from the CC.

Just wondering if it includes PCI/SMBus? I have nForce2 MCP chipest (not
AMD64, just i386) with Gigabit Ethernet, so hope his driver will working
on nForce2 as I don't mind to test it if it will working with nForce2.

The problem with nvnet is that... It's very out of date. The author of
nvnet or whomever (programmer) will have to update to match nvidia.com's
newer nForce driver for add more IDs and might (not sure) require update
some more codes than just IDs.
