Recent SUP.
Installed on Dell PowerEdge 4600.
Getting tons of:

Sep 30 12:23:16 zige /kernel: bge0: gigabit link up
Sep 30 12:23:46 zige last message repeated 98 times


Also getting some TCP retransmits.  This causes noticable delays in
pretty much everything I do now.  Not a problem prior to the SUP.
I was on 4.8-STABLE before.

When pulling/replacing cables, it went into a mode where it would
drop link, renegotiate, drop link, reneg, ... for a few minutes and
then it stopped.  Had to power cycle machine to recover.
