xen networking problems

[AndydnA]

I have had many problems with Debian and Xen with Broadcom embedded NIC.
The Broadcom embedded NIC doesn't work at all (zero received/ 
transmitted packets) with the Xen Kernel and the pe1950 and pe2950  
server.
The problem is not the Broadcom NIC, but the DELL management  
function. I hate this function! I spent one week and hundred coffee  
mug for find the follow work around! :)
You can search for: "How to disable the management function on  
Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 NIC" at xensource.

 From the last year my server are running with Xen 3 without any  
network problem.
I don't know if this can help you, but you can try.
