After some comments about ethercards, I replace the old WD 8013 with an SMC Ultra but this didn't help. Mike subsequently suggested removing the rsize=1024. I added this on request from someone using 2.1.x machines who found amd didn't work without it. I tried removing it and amd is now happy on my 2.2.1 machine!

Please submit a PR for this. Yup - that did the trick too! I'm now once more a happy FreeBSD'er! Thanks to all who have helped.
