i have a DC7100, a very similar machine (same southbridge, i believe).  none 
of my USB worked worth a damn until late 6.1.  6.2 has been totally reliable.

during 6.1, updating my BIOS upgraded my situation from "not worth a damn" 
to "hit and miss".

broadcom nic also works fine in later versions too.  if you require 6.0 (and 
not so much hardware hassle), you might try a different (not so fancy) 
computer.
