Thanks, adding the line made a difference. 
DHCP did not seem to work(I received an address(which I didn't before adding the loader.conf) but couldn't ping the DHCP server).
When I set the bge0 interface to a static address everything started working.

I didn't fully test the DHCP out though.

I appreciate you helping out on this.

Thank you,

Bill Norton

Probably disabling MSI will workaround your issue. Add

hw.pci.enable_msi="0"

to /boot/loader.conf.

I thought it was already fixed by John but it seems it is not.
John, would you take a look?(NVIDIA HT MSI issue)?
