Unhappy BCM5708 problem on Dell poweredge 2970 and 2.6.35 Kernel


Hello all,

I have a problem with my network interfaces on Dell poweredge server. I have two broadcom 5708 Gigabit network cards and they were working fine with my old kernel (2.6.18).
recently, i have updated the kernel to 2.6.35(actually installed a new distribution Ubuntu 10.10)
Since then, I have problem connecting to my server, the output of ifconfig shows that both NIC`s are working and assigned IP, i can connect to the system from both local machines and through internet. but sometimes suddenly the connection through internet is disconnected (some times to one NIC and sometimes to both!).
here is the result of:
$ethtool -i eth#
driver: bnx2
version: 2.0.15
firmware-version: 5.2.7 bc 5.0.4 ipms 1.6.0
bus-info: 0000:06:00.0

I was wondering if anyone here has had the same problem before and can share a solution with me?

Thanks,
Regards,
RSH
