Broadcom NetXtreme bcm5720 in the 9.1 beta

I have a Dell PowerEdge R720xd, with the Broadcom NetXtreme bcm5720. I 
found the following thread:

I find I am unable to use the NIC's (there are 4 on the server). When we 
put a cable into it we get a "watchdog timeout -- resetting" error, and 
the machine will pause for 5 or so seconds. IP may or may not come up 
randomly. eg. pings will work for 10 seconds and then it will pause and 
stop.

It is hard for me to get you some decent output because no networking works.

I need to get this puppy on the network, any suggestions? Will it be 
resolved in RC1, when can I expect it?

Thanks

Jurgen
