Broadcom Nextreme II adapter firmware versions prior 1.9.26 has a known bug
with using idrac with shared ethernet card.
if I enable vlan option in idrac menu and if i using ethernet interface with
shared mode (Shared mode means both idrac controller and
operating system using same physical ethernet port same time with different
MAC and IP address) when debian ifup ethernet interface
idrac controller loss connectivity and when debian ifdown ethernet interface
idrac connectivity turns back.
This is and known bug and patched by Broadcom firmware 1.9.26.Current latest
firmware version is 2.0.2 and debian firmware-bnx2 very
out-of-date.
I tried manually compile and install latest Broadcom driver source and
problem resolved.For information refer following

If I understand correctly, this bug only affects Debian 5.0 'lenny',
which is no longer supported. Therefore I'm closing it.
