 I have almost the same chipset (nForce 550 / MCP55). I know there's an
 unofficial development-in-progress driver (it's mentioned on the lists
 somewhere) that you may try - I still didn't find the time to do it.
 
 But how did you manage to get the sound working? What driver?
 
Try the snd_hda sound driver!

Try to use the snd_hda driver!

 Got miibus?
 
 - From nve(4):
 
  To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines

device miibus
device nve

If he'd left miibus out his kernel would never have compiled.

Right. The kernel compiled succesfully and booted. I had the miibus and
the if_nve in the kernel. Maybe it is just the wrong driver or I need
some device hints that I can't figure out. Does anyone have experience
with this mainboard/network interface?

OK. For anynone who will have the same problem in the future:

NetBSD uses the nfe driver which was merged into the FreeBSD-7.0-CURRENT
tree. This works as a loadable module for 6.2-RC2 (source available at
http://www.se.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~shigeaki/software/freebsd-nfe.html). There is 
also a patch for the nve driver but it didn't work for me.
