It is not the BC57xx chipset in general. It is the implementation of it on the Tyan S2881 early versions of the motherboard. They have since corrected it and you can get a replacement motherboard from them.
There's a similar problem we've been seeing with HP DL360's (I think) and (definitely) DL385s and the 5704 chipset where the NIC just shuts down.
