Does your DHCP server send you an MTU, perhaps? Before the interface
resets, what does its MTU show?

You might try creating a dhclient.conf that sets "supersede
interface-mtu 0;" and see if that helps.

The MTU from DHCP feature is new (see
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=206721 ) and e1000
interfaces will reset when applying the MTU.
