Thanks for finding this, we hit this bug and had to roll back last
thursday.  It seems for us to only get Broadcom nics using bnx2.  This
is the 2nd regresssion bug with network drivers in the last two releases
that Red Hat put out (The RHEL5.8 release kernel had a issue with tg3 w/
vlans). Ugh.

Thanks,
derek
