A possible cause -at least for me- is that HP switched from
the Gigabit Broadcoms for these 10GE versions. So newer

I wouldn't use a "new" server that doesn't support Nehelam. You're better
off getting a 1U server that has exactly what you want in it, rather than
having to hope that whoever happens to write a driver for this new part
does a good job. Even then you're stuck with last year's CPU model,
guaranteeing 20% less performance.
The BL460c G6 supports Nehalem (Intel 55xx), and 1U server instead of a
blade is all what I want.
