Dear All,
I am having a HP xw4400 with following ethernet controller
as reported by lspci
Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5755 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02)
This machine was running CentOS 5.2 without any problem. After
updating the machine with yum update on 8 April, after which it is showing
to be CentOS 5.3, this machine stops communicating intermittantly and I
see the following message correspondingly in /var/log/messages
