Comment 12 for bug 360966

I've looked into 2 a bit further, and it seems mostly to be during install. There is a 50-second timeout for each interface every time the installer probes for NICs. Since the hp blades have 2 NICs that each have 4 virtual NICs, it means 8 x 50 seconds repeated what looks like 3-6 scans by the installer in the "finding network hardware" step.

I'm not sure the slowness is a matter for this bug, but rather a separate problem of a driver issue inside bnx2x. Want me to open a new one for that issue?
