Linux nForce Driver

Linux nForce Driver is your go-to driver pack for nVidia motherboards. If you've got one of these bad boys, you're in luck!

Open-Source Drivers

The cool thing is, all the drivers in this pack are open-source and come included with most popular Linux distributions. Typically, when you run the Linux installer, it automatically picks out the right driver for your nForce hardware.

Driver Types

Here's a quick look at the types of drivers available:

• Audio (AC97): nForce-1 - nForce-4


• Audio (HDA): nForce-430 and later


• Storage: SATA/ACHI/IDE


• Ethernet: All models

NVIDIA's Pre-Compiled Drivers

NVIDIA also offers some pre-compiled storage (sata_nv) and Ethernet (forcedeth) driver disc images. You might need these during your initial Linux setup. These images are mainly for certain commercially-supported Linux distributions.

The driver disc images usually include upgrades and bug fixes that weren't available when the original distributions were released. So, if you're installing Linux using NVIDIA networking or storage, you'll want to make sure these pre-compiled drivers are installed during setup.
