Broadcom NIC cards are the devil. If you have an option to use another NIC, do so. I've spent well over 2 weeks working w/ Dell and Novell attempting to get the Broadcam cards to maintain their network connectivity, with no luck.

I have a BCM5788 running on 9.2 (upgraded from 9.1) on a x86_64 laptop, it uses the tg3 driver, some cards use the b44 driver. When I first installed 9.1, it used the b44 driver automatically and I had problems with network stalls, changed to the tg3 and it's never missed a beat since. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ....
