At least with some cards, the driver simply does not work. It causes a 
panic when there is some traffic.

The relevant bug report is here.

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=183391

The latest version available from the Emulex website works. But the 
version bundled with 9.3 and at least -STABLE (which is the same version 
bundled with -CURRENT) does cause panics on 10- and 9-

It's quite easy to reproduce. Link two machines, fire iperf to generate 
traffic and watch the almost instant panic.
