"From what I've found on forums and googling the Kernel contains drivers for
NForce 1-3.  The included drivers, again from what I've read, doesnt allow
the sound and network cards to work."

If I am understanding the above quote correctly you are saying (based
on your research) that the drivers in the kernel for NForce 1-3 do not
let the sound card and network cards work. I have to disagree because
I have a nforce 2 motherboard and the kernel drivers for both of my
eth connections and sound work perfect (kernel 2.6.13). Of course I
had to select the correct drivers. Now if you are talking specifically
about NForce 4 then I have no idea (my wallet is not that large) and
if I am understanding this incorrectly I apologize.
