</div><br><br><br>We've just started seeing the connectivity drop on 5 new DL360G5's (bce driver) we installed 2 weeks ago. We haven't had any problems on the linux side. We've also experienced problems getting a dhcp address during installation when using the bge driver. We use an Intel Pro/1000 CT for installing with dhcp or a static IP with the bge drive. There's open issues with both the bce and em drivers so we're looking to avoid them both.
