I believe Hardy had some problems. I never bothered with the GUI tools
with my Hardy installations so I do not know about Networkmanager but I
did see a lot of sound complaints with Hardy whereas the previous
release 7.xx had no problems.
Another issue with GNOME i never bothered to check since I needed a KDE
desktop with group policies thanks to kiosktool.
