[Techtalk] HP Server query

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

Hi there,

Just a small info : we have installed such hardware with redhat/fedora
several times. The built-in driver usually worked, and the additional
tg3 driver also never had real issues (we had more trouble with ASR
feature that made some servers reboot randomly for no obvious reason).

As you already have been suggested, this may be a hardware problem.

bye,
