Question : Netware Adapter Link Is Down Message

I have a number of Netware 6 servers running on various Compaq Proliant ML3x0 systems that are reporting Adapter Link Is Down message. The adapters reconnect and all is well for the time being. My concern is that all have adapters that use the Q57.LAN driver. All the sites may have network infrastructure issues, but I doubt it. These errors are sporadic. I've updated the Q57.LAN drivers to the latest from Compaq, but still have problems. Any ideas

Answer : Netware Adapter Link Is Down Message

The Broadcom chipset and drivers for that card have a reputation of instability.
Dell has quit using the card on their servers all together and started to use the Intel server cards.
I expect HP(Compaq to follow),but HP and Broadcom have a very close working relationship,so keep your fingers crossed.

The newest drivers are available here (7.61) as of August 6th,2004.
