Re: DL140 G3 Network Broadcom Extreme 5721 Embedded Adapter

Actually I had some trouble with NIC drivers for this particular model. I was advised to upgrade the driver and firmware (by this order).
It seems some drivers HP lists in W2003 page for this model are not compatible with DL140G3 :-(
Whom should I complain to? The Proliant DL140G3 Support and Documentation CD sucks and it's a frustration!!

I called HP Support (Portugal) and they told me to download the drivers directly from Broadcom site (http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/netxtreme_server.php). And yup, it worked.
But the firmware upgrade is only listed on HP site and sadly was not (again) compatible with my DL140G3.

The teaming was done successfully with Broadcom NIC Teaming Driver but I was only able to obtain 1Gbs instead of 2Gbs expected. Anybody knows a way to obtain a 2Gbs teaming configuration speed?
