Bnx2 driver too old

[Julien CHAMPSEIX]

bnx2 : driver used for network controller
Ubuntu's Version : Hardy LTS 8.04.3
Network card: Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II
BCM5708S Gigabit Ethernet (rev 12)
Problem: Network card didnt start properly after an reboot of server and
needed to add /etc/init.d/networking restart into rc.local for by pass
the problem.

So I wanna know if an new version of this drivers will be update or
available fastly in order to comment on my 'bypass' into the rc.local.

Apparently on Debian Etch or Ubuntu Karmic it allready fixed and an
package bnx2 is available.

Thx for your help !

Best Regards,
Julien.
