Try turning of hardware TSO/checksum offload if it's availble on your 
chipset?  ifconfig <interface> -rxcsum -txcsum -tso -- I'm only using nfe 
chips right now, but w/ the TSO/CSUM on they lock up constantly under high 
load.  We're pretty sure it's mostly the nfe driver, or the chips 
themselves, but have never ruled out some generic 8.x hardware offload 
issues.
