Another hang last night :(

Whats really strange is that the WOL_MAGIC and TSO4 got turned back on
somehow ? I had explicitly turned it off, but when the NIC was in its
bad state

em1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=2198<VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,WOL_MAGIC>

... its back on along with TSO?  Not sure if its coincidence or a side
effect or what.  For now, I have had to re-purpose this nic to something
else.

debug info shows
