The next test is to diable the LOM's management firmware but boot to an active network. Get the User Diag utility at the bottom of http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/netxtremeii.php. Run the uxdiag utility with the command line: "C:\>uxdiag -c 0 -mfw 0 -c 1 -mfw 0 -c 2 -mfw 0 -c 3 mfw 0" The "-c X" specifies with LOM to use while the "-mfw 0" disables the firmware. Use the appropriate number of "-c X" values for the number of ports on your system (the r710 has 4 ports). To re-enable the firmware do the following: "C:\>uxdiag -c 0 -mfw 1 -c 1 -mfw 1 -c 2 -mfw 1 -c 3 mfw 1" Finally, the routine bce_print_adapter_info() in HEAD prints out both the bootcode and management firmware versions. If you can get those same changes into your release I'd like to see the versions reported on your system.
