I can't install archlinux with ftp and forcedeth module on mortherboard with nforce2 chipset. Not network at all dhcp or even if I configure network by hand. I had to install archlinux from a livecd and archbootstrap script. Network works well this this module.

The module load without error and I can set ip on the interface and even the gateway (dns are well configured) but I cant't acees to an external server and even a local server.

I have a machine with an nforce2 chipset, and the forcedeth module works fine from the 0.7.1 install CD.

# modprobe forcedeth
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
# route add default gw 192.168.0.1

I can confirm a similar experience. With the 0.7.0 installer, I believe the install kernel's forcedeth did not work with my new A8N-VM CSM motherboard; I think that kernel also had other issues with my chipset.

It all worked well enough with the install kernel on an 0.7.1 beta to get me an ftp install, and from there I upgraded to the newest kernels, which work great with it.
