I have complained to an official nvidia contact address about them not opening 
up their own network driver _from day 1_.

They didn't seem to understand my point.  They were all quick to recommend me 
the forcedeth driver, because they said it does everything that their driver 
does.

I've also seen that Broadcom discontinued their own proprietary bcm5700 driver 
and are now supporting the opensource tg3 driver.

So maybe some of them have started to see the light.

I think you don't have to worry about the forcedeth driver, it will be there.
