Hi,

When e1000g was plumbed, it would show the link "unknown" state unless it explicitly receives link up or link down (such as plugging out the cable) interrupts from the NIC. So at a certain point, the NICs on your machine sent the link down interrupts. Could you try to install the quad cards on other systems? Does it make a difference?

Hello,

here's the thing. Dell PE1950 with both pcie slots taken. One is PERC 5e, the 
second is Intel quad port gigabit card with 82571EB chipset.

Symptoms:

none of the cards can't be brought to "up" state.
