AFAIK, scanpci has a compiled-in list of known
pci device ids. The nvidia hardware is too new
for the /usr/X11/bin/scanpci program included with
snv_77; scanpci probably needs to be rebuilt using
a newer pci device table.

The "nfo" driver might work with the new nvidia
gigabit ethernet hardware, but I havn't tried that yet:
