I'm sorry for arriving late to this thread but I was searching around and my onboard, re0, chip=0x816810ec, rev=0x01, gets Bad Packet Length on some ssh connections I have. Basically I notice this under some load (like while doing a portupgrade). I doubt its the memory, the notebook is brand spank'n new (I don't think its ECC RAM but it could be). Based on this post it seems that there maybe a bug in the RTL driver on 64-bit platforms? Anyone else see this? I may go try to track this down myself.
