Ubuntu 7.10 is Gutsy, not Hardy and Gutsy isn't supported anymore for as far as I know. It is also not the fault of the graphics card but a combination of all sorts of issues on quite a few sides, I did some kind of workaround to fix this but I don't remember it (I'm on hardy now and planning to migrate to jaunty soon).
The nvidia nforce chipset has nothing to do with the bug, it's just the graphics card. Also, my nforce ethernet works just fine, no special configuration required, it works fine with the forcedeth drivers that are builtin. I guess upgrading might be a good idea. Also, I'm not sure whether the 6000series need the new or the legacy nvidia drivers from the repo. I clearly want to state that nvidia hardware is not trash, I personally consider it as very good hardware. On linux drivers it's usually something like this if we're talking just about graphics: intel > nvidia > ati (not talking about Via and other, smaller players).
