clone issue with broadcom tg3 driver no such device

Hardware

I have several identical servers with a Broadcom BCM5703X nic. I can install successfully on one. I would like to clone that setup to the others. Everything works except the eth0 device is not created on the cloned machines. The irq is 233 using broadcom driver tg3. lspci shows the entry for the BCM5703X but no eth0 entry. If I build the box using the debian distro everything is fine. The irq's are correct but no eth0. Is there a way to reset the pci or tg3 driver to reconfig itself?

Hi,
Perhaps I'm late but I met the same problem when I tried to clone HS20 servers.
The solution:
Delete every lines in the file /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules
Reboot your server or reload the tg3 module with the modprobe command.
