>Description:
The current generation of HP Proliant DL/ML Servers contain a Broadcom BCM5714c NIC.
In 6.1-RC1 The bge driver will not reliable work with the BCM5714c. It produces the following issues
1. When the NIC is activated the system hard locks; the keyboard and ACPI power buttons do not work.
2. When the NIC is deactivated ( In Single user mode ) running /sbin/ifconfig will show spurious "link up" messages
displayed in the ifconfig output; as well as hard lock the server.
>How-To-Repeat:
Preform a base 6.1-RC1 from CD. Configure the servers NIC to use DHCP; This will cause the system to Hard lock.
>Fix:
I beleive the issues are addressed in if_bge.c,v 1.113 and newer. A pull up of the driver from HEAD will fix the issue.
