Oh thats excellent news you got to the bottom of it. I would say open a 
PR in case someone comes along and funds some NIC development for this 
hardware.  pciconfig -lcvb re0;  ifconfig -v etc to perhaps show your 
hardware details in the PR

The other box has a Realtek PCIe GbE 1Gbit NIC on the motherboard which works with the driver re from base, however not without bugs, this bug particulary <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=166724">https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=166724</a>;

So in both cases I switched to the realtek-re-kmod driver from packages.

I have just tried with an Intel card in one of the boxes and the problem is gone.

I suspect there is a problem with the realtek-re-kmod driver.
