Windows 7, can't install network drivers!

I have an nForce 420D chipset (old computer, but still fast enough for me). Windows 7 doesn't have nForce drivers by default. nVidia.com says to get them through windows update. Fine, but since the ether net is part of nForce, I can't connect to the internet.

Plan B: Install a linksys LNE100TX ethernet card. Probably the most popular ethernet card EVER. Windows 7 should have drivers for that, right? Wrong.

So now I'm SOL. Does anybody have any suggestions?
 
I solved the network problem by pointing it to the XP LNE100TX driver on the install disc that came with the network card. But it did me almost no good anway because there were no other drivers for all my other hardware (even Radeon 7000!).
 
Win7 being in beta includes a limited library of drivers.

Microsoft has some where has a page with a list of recommended platforms.

However in most cases using Vista drivers solves the problem.
