I have seen reports of this before. Apparently manually doing 'modprobe forcedeth' from console 2 during the install usually works. For some reason the ethernet port on some nvidia chipsets doesn't appear in the pci listing and then as a result isn't auto detected, but the driver can find it just fine if asked to load and look for the device. The daily builds use a newer kernel, which may have a bug fix added to deal with whatever caused the problem in 2.6.8.
