(In reply to Harald Schmalzbauer from comment #3)

Yes, it is a bug in bhyve's virtio-net code, where the 'merged rx-buffer'
feature isn't implemented to spec. It only uses a single guest buffer, whic=
h is
usually 2K or 4K. The virtio-net code needs some restructuring to request t=
he
virtio common code to look for enough buffers to cover the size of the inco=
ming
packet, and to be able to return the length used in each of these back to t=
he
common code.

Also as you mentioned, the e1000 emulation doesn't currently work with netm=
ap.
There have been patches supplied to fix this - they just need to be
tested/integrated.
