Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.
I've been using HP NC510C PCIe 10 gigabit nic(netxen) since early 2009 in
a drbd setup between two DL380G5. We did experience hanging issues with
the card but this was related to driver versions(HP psp support packs).
We ended up opening a case with HP and are currently running on an "older"
version of the nx_nic driver. If you want I will send you the specifics
offline.
BTW I just purchased some DL380G6 with NC522SFP(with BLc copper)and will
be setting them
up in the New Year.
