April 2011 Patches Conflict with Broadcom
When the Dell driver for the Broadcom NetXtreme Family of Adapters, v16.2.0, A01 is installed, the OS gets stuck in a continuous loop on a BXOIS.SYS error. In my case this occurred on the 5708 series Broadcom. I was able to reproduce this in
our development and QA environments. The solution is to boot to the Windows Recovery Console and load a command prompt. Then manually delete the offending file (bxois.sys) from %windir%/drivers. This will allow you to once again boot into
the OS at which point you must reinstall your network drivers manually.
Link to the offending driver is here: http://ftp.dell.com/network/NIC_DRVR_WIN_R297264.EXE
The drivers you need to replace this with can be had here: http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/netxtremeii.php
I will report this to Dell as well.

Is there a latest solution for this? And what is caused by BXOIS.SYS BSOD? We are also encountering same problem. When We Applied the above solution, Still nothing happens good, Same problem Encountered. One thing we noticed when Unplug the RJ45 NIC, No
BSOD encountered but when we plug the RJ45 NIC a BSOD bxois.sys error encountered. Some says it has something to do with iSCSi offload feature of the Broadcom NetextremeII. Do we have any concrete solution for this? TIA
