I actually have three Dell R610 boxes running OSol snv134 and since I
switched from the internal Broadcom NICs to Intel ones, I didn't have
any issue with them.
I am still using the built-in broadcom NICs in my R710 that's having
problems...

What sort of problems did you have with the bcom NICs in your R610?

Well, basically the boxes would hang themselves up, after a week or so. And by hanging up, I mean becoming inaccessible by either the network via ssh or the local console. It seemed that, for some reason, the authentication didn't work anymore.

Earlier versions of OSol also exhibited the problem, that the links of the broadcom NICs were reported as up (which they actually were, since the LED indiactors we on and also the switch reported that the Links were up), but no network traffic was going through. Disabeling/Enableing the ports didn't work and I had to reboot the host as well, but that was with 2009/06, I think.

Since I am still an OSol noob (well, kind of still), I decided to try the Intel NICs, which had never caused me any trouble in any other server and my boxes have been fine since.
