Linux and ASFIPMon
Problem: I brought down the interface and now I cannot bring it back up. When I try, the following message appears,
`SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable.'
Solution: When ASFIPMon is running, it does a quick access to flash ROM every 30 seconds or so. If the interface is brought
down while this is happening, you cannot bring the interface back up in the usual way. To bring up the interface, unload and
then reload the driver module.

Broadcom Boot Agent

Problem: Unable to obtain network settings through DHCP using PXE.
Solution: For proper operation make sure that the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is disabled or that portfast mode (for Cisco)
is enabled on the port to which the PXE client is connected. For instance, set spantree portfast 4/12 enable.

Broadcom Advanced Server Program (BASP)

Problem: The 802.3ad team member links disconnect and reconnect continuously (applies to all operating systems).
Solution: This is a third-party issue. It is seen only when configuring an 802.3ad team with more than 2 members on the
system and connecting to an HP2524 switch, with LACP enabled as passive or active. The HP switch shows an LACP channel
being brought up successfully with only 2 team members. All other team member links disconnect and reconnect. This does
not occur with a Cisco Catalyst 6500.
Problem: A Generic Trunking (GEC/FEC) 802.3ad-Draft Static type of team may lose some network connectivity if the driver
to a team member is disabled.
Solution: If a team member supports underlying management software (ASF/IPMI/UMP) or Wake-On-LAN, the link may be
maintained on the switch for the adapter despite its driver being disabled. This may result in the switch continuing to pass
traffic to the attached port rather than route the traffic to an active team member port. Disconnecting the disabled adapter
from the switch will allow traffic to resume to the other active team members.
Problem: The teaming changes I made when I modified my team using INETCFG did not take effect.
Solution: When you modify a team using INETCFG, you may need to reboot after reinitialization for the changes to the team
to take effect.
Miscellaneous
Problem: Although installled, the Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 3 (BACS) application does not start.
Solution: .NET Framework 2.0 is required for BACS 3 to operate. Install .NET Framework 2.0.
Problem: When the bus on the system is operating in PCI mode, the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet adapter performs
at PCI mode if it is added after the system has booted.
Solution: When the system is booted up without any adapter, the bus operates at the lowest mode, which is PCI mode.
