We have various generations of the Proliant DL360 (G2, G3, G4 and G4p), and all of them have members of the Broadcom BCM570x (5701, 5703, 5704, 5704C) onboard. All of them are supported by the bge(4) driver. We're running 4-stable and 6-stable (6.2-PRERELEASE) without problems. We don't have any G5 machines yet, but I would be surprised if they changed the onboard NICs to an entire different family. > It looks like support for the E200i SAS controller is provided by the > CISS device, so I think that should be ok. Well, I can confirm that the on-board controller in the G2, G3, G4 and G4p works fine with FreeBSD -stable (4 and 6), and it's indeed a CISS device.
