Hi.
I have suffered the same fate. The fix I used was to obtain the
latest drivers 'if_xl.c' and 'if_xlreg.h' for the xl driver.

I used the new /usr/src/sys/pci/if_xl.c and if_xlreg.h as well
as upping the maxusers from 50 to 200 and adding
options      NMBCLUSTERS=8192

I hope it works. It has been up for 28 days since the problem.
There are a few of these types of message in the archives.
Good luck.

Josh
