Problem: Although installled, the Broadcom Advanced Control Suite (BACS) application does not start.
Solution: .NET Framework 2.0 is required for BACS 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.
Reboot the system after the adapter has been added.
Problem: The Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet adapter may not perform at optimal level on some systems if it is added
after the system has booted.
Solution: The system BIOS in some systems does not set the cache line size and the latency timer if the adapter is added
after the system has booted. Reboot the system after the adapter has been added.
Problem: Large Send Offload (LSO) and Checksum Offload are not working on my team.
Solution: If one of the adapters on a team does not support LSO, LSO does not function for the team. Remove the adapter
that does not support LSO from the team, or replace it with one that does. The same applies to Checksum Offload.
Problem: When using the TG3 driver and Red Hat 4 (with any release prior to release 6), after setting the speed and duplex
