I looked and downloaded some but
they did work. You got any idea as where to look?

Judging by a picture of the motherboard, the Ethernet MAC
is integrated into the Nvidia Southbridge, and the external
chips are the PHY chips that drive the Ethernet cable. I guess
the "EMB" above stands for "Embedded" as a result. In other words,
don't expect to see a 3C920 chip on the motherboard - it is hidden
inside the Southbridge.

In the OEMSETUP.INF file from that download, I can see

"3Com 3C920B-EMB Integrated Fast Ethernet Controller"

so that driver should work, if you can figure out how
to install it :-)

Thanks, It's all in knowing where to
find the right drivers.
