Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 SP1 will not keep Static IP

I have an HP Proliant DL360 G5 running Windows 2003 Server R2 SP1.  It has two interfaces, one connected via gigabit to a switch, and the other connected to a management port on an Apple raid system.  This raid is connected via fibre channel that is working great.

We installed the system and everything worked great.  One nic had a static IP and the other had a DHCP with us running a DHCP server serving out the IP for that nic and also the IP for the raid management interface.  We were able to control the raid and everything was working fine.

A co-worker, trying to be helpful, downloaded the latest PSP (Product Service Pack) from HP that basically went in and updated the drivers and installed HP's NCU (Network Control Utility).

Now TCP/IP is broken.  It says in the GUI that its DHCP and yet both interfaces are suppose to be static.  After this problem started occuring, I went in and configured the raid management to work with static ip addresses to avoid DHCP altogether.  I have disabled both the DHCP server and client service.   I set the IP addresses and do the reboot and the interface comes back static, but yet the GUI still says DHCP.  I have tried numerous attempts of driver removal, NCU removal, TCP/IP resets, and finally hacking my way through the registry setting the IP addresses in there.  Nothing...nada...zilch...no change in behavior, the GUI still reverts back to DHCP.  The nics work fine once I set the IP and disable and re-enable them without the reboot.  But on each reboot, the network logon service fails and I have to start it manually before anyone can log in.  That is the main issue at this point.  I suspect if I get the GUI and TCP/IP playing nicely that the Network Logon service will come back and AD will be okay.  This is the root server btw for DNS and WINS on an isolated network.

I am lost as to what to do...and I consider myself somewhat savvy with Windows Server 2003.

I keep reading about how this is a RIS driver and not the real driver for the nic card.  Any clue where to get the real driver?  It says it is a NC373i Multifunction nic.   I have also read that this is a Broadcom Extreme II but I am unsure where to get those drivers.

Any ideas on what is causing this?
