I will have a look on that point because MandrakeLinux for opteron owns the bcm5700 driver.
Could you send me the PCI-ID of your card ?

The MandrakeClustering product (http://www.mandrakeclustering.com) has
been shown during ISC2003 at Heidelberg (www.isc2003.org) on dual
opteron systems. People who want to test it can contact me directly.
