I have an R210 and running the uxdiag command definitely disabled management firmware on my system: ===[root] ~ # dmesg | grep bce bce0: <Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5716 1000Base-T (C0)> mem 0xda000000-0xdbffffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci2 miibus0: <MII bus> on bce0 bce0: Ethernet address: b8:ac:6f:87:95:f1 bce0: ASIC (0x57092008); Rev (C0); Bus (PCIe x4, 2.5Gbps); B/C (5.2.2); Bufs (RX:2;TX:2;PG:8); Flags (SPLT|MSI) bce1: <Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5716 1000Base-T (C0)> mem 0xdc000000-0xddffffff irq 17 at device 0.1 on pci2 miibus1: <MII bus> on bce1 bce1: Ethernet address: b8:ac:6f:87:95:f2 bce1: ASIC (0x57092008); Rev (C0); Bus (PCIe x4, 2.5Gbps); B/C (5.2.2); Bufs (RX:2;TX:2;PG:8); Flags (SPLT|MSI) bce0: Gigabit link up! bce0: Gigabit link up! bce1: Gigabit link up! bce1: Gigabit link up! ===[root] ~ # Dave
