Not DL360G3 but a couple DL380G3 which are almost identical, just a
little bit bigger due to their 6 drive-bays instead of 2. I assume the
Ethernet chipset is exactly the same as on a DL360G3.
The tg3 driver worked just fine for me right out-of-the-box without any
problems.
Stupid question: Did you maybe confuse the interfaces?
Try to listen with 'tcpdump' on one interface and see if there are ANY
packets incoming. Even with wrong IP-addresses or routing you should see
traffic from others hosts on the same network (at least their
broadcasts)...
