... I had a 410 in to test, and I do believe it uses a different broadcom chip. This is one from an R710, as shown in lspci:
01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 20) I think yours will be a BCM 5716, and I'm not able to comment on how the drivers are for that chip.
