Ok, i have another new to this problem.

I have unplugged the external BCM5720 card, and now there is only the
motherboard BCM5720 + the Intel Pro 1000.
I created two LACP trunks with 2 ports (1 for each card).
The servers doesn't freeze anymore !! (but there is a problem,
motherboard bge1 stay active but doesn't collect and distribute. The
switch doesn't agregate the port, this problem was present when the 4
bge ports were on the server).

The next test is to disable motherboard BCM 5720 and retry with the
external BCM5720, to see if the same comportment is present.
