    Many thanks, I have it working now. Summary for anyone else who needs to do
    this:

    - fetch nvnet.tar.gz from
    http://cvsweb.FreeBSD.org/ports/net/nvnet/nvnet.tar.gz?tarball=1

    - unpack nvnet.tar.gz under /usr/ports/net

    - since the network interface is not working at this moment, I had to fetch
    the other files into /usr/ports/distfiles/ manually:
    http://www.onthenet.com.au/~q/nvnet/nvnet-src-20040108.tar.gz
    ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nforce/1.0-0261/NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.tar.gz
    [this is a Microsoft FTP server, remember to set binary mode!]

    - cd /usr/ports/net/nvnet

    - in Makefile, change
         NVNETVERSION= 20040108
      but leave NVVERSION=0261 (version 0269 is for AMD64 processors I am told)

    - append to 'distinfo'
    MD5 (nvnet-src-20040108.tar.gz) = 96730b413cb1f949f6cdadb6797740c2
    SIZE (nvnet-src-20040108.tar.gz) = 17547

    - make install

    - append to /boot/loader.conf
    if_nv_load="YES"

    Regards,

    Brian.
