for our servers. I was looking at the new HP ProLiant BL460c witch according to the technical specs at: http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/proliant-bl/c-class/460c/specifications.htmlcomes with the embedded NC370i network controller. However, after a lot of goggling I found out that there are compatibility problems with that controller. Any suggestions are kindly welcomed.
