ESX build base v4.1
So I've noticed these messages in my "messages.log" for awhile now but havn't ever cared to figure out why or if its even a concern since nothing seems to be affected.

This is happening on a brand new server (fwiw IBM x3850X5 w/Dual port Broadcom NICs) The messages repeat oh, I don't know about once an hour.
The other servers (IBM x3850M2) this occurs on also, but not as frequently it seems.
There is never a message about the NIC going down - just that its up and redundancy is restored.
