Re: Network issues on HP DL360G4

[Jason DePaul <jdepaul techemail com>]

generally it is recommended to replace the Redhat provided tigeon (tg3) drivers with the bcm5700 drivers provided by HP in the latest PSP.  I am running about 30 or so boxes with the hp provided bcm5700 drivers and I have not run into these types of issues.  Plus I do not think that HP will provide support unless you have installed their drivers.
