The bnx2 driver has stopped working on 2.6.27-rc5-mm1.
Plain 2.6.27-rc5 works. Reversing the bnx2 changes in -mm1 does not fix the issue, so something less obvious is going on.

Bringing up the interface fails with -EINVAL. Specifically, the SIOCSIFFLAGS ioctl is returning -EINVAL:
ioctl(4, SIOCSIFFLAGS, 0x7fffc841cc40) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
I am running an x86-64 kernel on a Dell pe1950 with these network chips on the mainboard:
