I've got DL360G3's and G2's

G3 running 4.8-RC (first 'release' with support for NIC):
bge0: <Broadcom BCM5703X Gigabit Ethernet, ASIC rev. 0x1002> mem
0xf7ef0000-0xf7efffff irq 11 at device 2.0 on pci1

No issues so far, actually went in production at 2:30pm BST 

G2 running 4.7-REL-p7:
bge0: <Broadcom BCM5701 Gigabit Ethernet> mem 0xf7fb0000-0xf7fbffff irq 5 at
device 5.0 on pci1
No issues, used to send mail to ~700,000 people on an infrequent basis. No
not spam ;)
