N7F-s V2 adn ethernet

Anyone find DOS drivers or drivers that will work with Symantec Ghost for
this board yet? I spent hours today looking for some and the only ones
(Grayson) suggested by some as maybe compatible didn't do it. I've got
several of these boards as when an ATX board on the network dies we were
going to use the N7F-s V2 but without the ability to ghost peer to peer over
TCP/IP, we won't waste time buying any more Abit boards but will just
replace them with Dells. Hoping someone has a solution - something other
than adding a 3com pci nic to each board.

nvidia havn't exactly gone out of their way to make dos drivers, but i found
this
i'd buy dells anyway, the nforce2 is for enthusiasts, i wouldn't be arsed
with using it in mainstream

But Asus put Realtek network drivers on the CDROM for my Mobo (besides
the nforce Chipset driver pack, which does contain the Win98/Me/2k/XP
ethernet drivers as well). Hopefully other Mobo manufactorer included
the drivers I'm looking for.
I've found a link to NDIS driver and even a ODI wrapper at
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.xs4all.be/~basheij/nForce2/NDIS-DOS-NForce-Ethernet.zip" target="_blank">http://www.xs4all.be/~basheij/nForce2/NDIS-DOS-NForce-Ethernet.zip</a>
including a PDF describing to get ghost running with network
connectivity (also DOS/NDIS based BTW), ODI and MSLAN connectivity.
But I couldn't get them working,yet. The drivers are loading but then
VLM is locking. I'll give it some more hours on Monday.

Unfortunately Win98 and ME VXD-drivers do NOT work with VLM or
client32; not even with Win98 in DOS mode.
Or did I missed something here? Can you describe roughly what it
necessary to get Win9x driver working in the DOS/command line mode of
Win98?
There must be something newer or working out there ...
a "No" is not on my option list <!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
