Chipset Drivers

Hey,

A while ago I bought myself a new motherboard, ram, hard disk etc... Since I love Archlinux I couldn't wait to try the hardware on it but, seems that my Ethernet card isn't detected, audio etc... It comes to this, I have no idea where to get drivers for the chipset. Now I heard from a friend ubuntu is good at hardware so I tried it and what came up; everything just worked fine. Now I wanna figure out where and what drivers I should get to get everything up in arch.

The specifications:

Motherboard: Asus M2N-VM HDMI
Chipset: Nvidia Geforce 7050PV / nForce 620A

Note: I searched the drivers on the nvidia website, entered the correct chipset but there are none for linux. (Where the hell Ubuntu get the drivers from then, open-source yea .. but. .. <-- that is my question )

lspci output on ubuntu: (grepped only the nvidia chipset devices)
nuxis@darkstar:~$ lspci
00:00.0 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation MCP67 Memory Controller (rev a2)

00:0f.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP67 PCI Express Bridge (rev a2)
00:10.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP67 PCI Express Bridge (rev a2)
00:11.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP67 PCI Express Bridge (rev a2)

I hope someone can point me in the right direction so I can get arch running on this box.

Thanks and Greetz
