A new version of firmware should be coming out from Dell that should
resolve this issue.  The firmware can be updated via DOS or Linux
but not from FreeBSD using Linux emulation (atleast not yet) :-(

A short time solution is to find a diag utility for the NIC and
then disable management function in all NICs.
