    Hello all,

    Has anyone had any recent issues with the tg3 driver on the hardware
    of either of these servers (all running various revisions of the 2.4
    kernel). specifically with auto negotiation and crashes caused by it.
    Or is the bcm5700 driver still the better option?

    Alternatively am I better off ripping out the cards and sticking in
    something that uses the e1000 driver.

    Thanks,

    Ben
