Hi.
We have the same problem on a Dell PowerEdge R300 with a Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5722 NIC. After a day, the NIC stops working and we have many dropped packets by the interface in ifconfig :
RX packets:211562 errors:0 dropped:253867 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:84359 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Collisions:0 lg file transmission:1000 RX bytes:29148660 (27.7 MiB) TX bytes:21437374 (20.4 MiB) Interruption:16
We also have this line in dmesg :
tg3 0000:01:00.0: vpd r/w failed. This is likely a firmware bug on this device. Contact the card vendor for a firmware update.
Debian Wheezy Kernel : version 3.2.0-2-amd64 Module tg3 : version: 3.121, firmware-version: 5722-v3.08, ASFIPMI v6.02
Regards.
