[-- Attachment #1 --] A note from clusteradm@freebsd.org It looks like there is some amount of instability or bugginess in some of the Broadcom firmware(management) on the bce(4) chipeset shipped on later generations of the Poweredge 2950 from Dell: bce0: <Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 1000Base-T (B2)> Specifically, we've seen that newer (9 and higher) have issues with the doing initial setup and negotiation and that Dell did indeed release newer firmware to fix the issues. This requires a full reboot into Linux (probably centos6) to get the update to execute.
