Bug Description
After installing Precise Beta1 on this server, the network card is not usable and this message appears in dmesg:
[ 1385.620013] tg3 0000:01:00.0: vpd r/w failed. This is likely a firmware bug on this device. Contact the card vendor for a firmware update.
Running ifconfig shows only an inet6 address. The system is not accesible by ssh (obviously) but we were able to retrieve dmesg manually.
The system was PxE installed so at some level the network hardware is working.

Hi Brendan,
Do you happen to know if this issue happened with previous Ubuntu versions on this server?
Do you have a way to install additional test kernels on the system? If so, it would be great if you could test the latest mainline kernel:
