Hi.

We have the same problem on a Dell PowerEdge R300 with a Broadcom NetXtreme 
BCM5722 NIC.
After a day, the NIC stops working and we have many dropped packets by the 
interface in ifconfig :

RX packets:211562 errors:0 dropped:253867 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:84359 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
Collisions:0 lg file transmission:1000 
RX bytes:29148660 (27.7 MiB)  TX bytes:21437374 (20.4 MiB)
Interruption:16 

We also have this line in dmesg :

tg3 0000:01:00.0: vpd r/w failed.  This is likely a firmware bug on this 
device.  Contact the card vendor for a firmware update.

Debian Wheezy
Kernel : version 3.2.0-2-amd64
Module tg3 : version: 3.121, firmware-version: 5722-v3.08, ASFIPMI v6.02

Regards.
