Broadcom (bnx2) on PE1950/2950 failure

["Fortier,Vincent [Montreal]" <Vincent.Fortier1@EC.GC.CA>]

When trying manually to get the on-board broadcom adapter working I get
this:

When I invoke "modprobe bnx2" it looks like both adapter fails to
initialise properly reason I think both are trying to bind on eth0
instead of eth0 & eth1.

I've removed the TOE jumper (has read on a gentoo list) with no effect
(except that it really is disabled in the BIOS now).

I've also tried loading the driver using disable_msi=1 option without
any effect.

The problem occurs on all tested kernels (2.6.18.8, 2.6.19.7, 2.6.20.14
& 2.6.21.5)

Here is part of the dmesg:
[root@localhost /root]# dmesg | grep -i eth

As you can notice it tried to use eth0 & eth1 for both broadcom adapters
but it did not worked properly since e1000 used them instead and finally
bnx2 got eth3 working using MSI ?
Here is the mii-tool output:
[root@urpdev1 /root]# mii-tool
eth0: no link
eth1: no link
SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth2' failed: Resource temporarily unavailable
eth3: negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok

So by switching the network config from eth0 to eth3 made the on-board
port 1 working ?
