Justin,
I've observed a similar symptom on the bcm5762 chip, not the 5720, and not sure if the bugs they are related. I've filed a bug report (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1447664), and actively working with Broadcom's engineering team to get this bug resolved. They are running multiple test cases but could not get this bug to surface in a short amount of time. > In the mean time I've made a bash-script to rmmod and modprobe as > appropriate. I'll set a cron job to ping a couple of other servers on the LAN > and execute the script and restart networking should the pings fail. This is a patch, not a fix. Have you tested on kernel 4.0? > Alternatively, try to get yourself an Intel NIC that works with the igb > driver (don't get an Intel NIC that needs the e1000e driver) to replace > the hardlock-prone bcm5720 + tg3 combination. I ended up with an intel NIC instead, but with the e1000e driver. What's wrong with the e1000e driver by the way, please update.
