vswif0: transmit timed out.

NETDEV WATCHDOG: vswif0: transmit timed out.

In case and you running on HP server - there is a chance for a faulty network card - try to replace a card or a motherboard.

It caused by a faulty module - bnx2. In order to somehow return it to online state the following commands must be used: login to console: vmkload_mod -u bnx2
vmkload_mod bnx2
This issue affects on Broadcom Corporation Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 and maybe on other cards too
