I don't know if it's related -- since I'm talking about a
different card. But I had similar trouble with xe(4) in
4-STABLE, too. The Xircom 10MBit card I had (logs cited below)
was of almost no use when trying new connections (read: icmp and
udp packets plus initial tcp connection establishment). DNS
usually timed out, ping -n didn't work and ssh sessions took
quite a few timeout/retry cycles to start. Using established
connections went fine (it's when I started running screen(1)
inside ssh(1) sessions instead of switching terminals:) ...

In some three weeks I could get my hands on one of these cards
and have it run again in the same machine in case you want me to
test something or to collect diagnostic data.
