I have a blog post at http://blog.hostileadmin.com/2012/06/14/freebsd-on-hp-proliant-dl360p-g8-servers/ which touches on this. I heard as recently as today that the fixes for the BCM5719 and 5720 were recently committed to -CURRENT. It's too late for them to be rolled into 9.1. Not sure if they'll be committed to to stable/8 or not, but if so they could make it into 8.4-R. -- Take care Rick Miller
