I know it's been mentioned before that the tg3 driver in CentOS 3.4 is buggy. I had to revert to 3.4 today from 4 (fresh install) and now I have no link and thus no network. I'm wondering if this is caused by this bug and what the work-around is.

I have to say here that if there's a bug here, it's not universal. I have several Opteron boxes with Arima HDAMA motherboards, and have not had any issues with the tg3 driver. lspci says that they're "Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5702X Gigabit Ethernet (rev 02)".
