Hello,
I have PC with two PCI Broadcom 5752 NIC installed. I was trying to create Linux Bridge in Proxmox and set bridge port to one of those devices. When I connect card to switch I keep getting Proxmox terminal flooded with tg3 dump messages :
tg3 0000:03:00.0: enp3s0: -----lots of hex values here------
tg3 0000:03:00.0: enp3s0: 0: Host status block [00000007:00000003: (0000:0000:0000):(0000:0000)]
