I haven't seen this report, but you probably mean "disturbs Nvidia-based
network" as probably in a combo with Nvidia chipset, NIC and graphics
chip. I can tell that various computers that I take care of with Nvidia
video cards (but no other Nvidia components) have no network problem when
the _video_ Nvidia driver is used; the NICs used in these computers are
3C905C, E1000 and SIS900something.

AFAIK, on the netdev mailing list there were some messages about a new
open-source driver (forcedeth) for the Nvidia NICs. Try to look it up...
