Vitesse? How can I tell the chipset name? My mobo is Asus Crosshair with nforce 590. In my past attempts at getting osx on it, LAN would be recognized and forcedeth would be loaded (makes sense, recognized by linux as forcedeth too) but then I can never get an address from DHCP, I'm pretty sure it's no problem from router but the driver itself.
