no watchdog timeout message. I tried your patch, but it doesn't seem to
have an effect on the problem yet: 

Jul 19 08:22:28 dev2006 kernel:
bce0: /usr/src/sys/dev/bce/if_bce.c(4644): Error mapping mbuf into TX
chain! -patched20060719-
Jul 19 08:22:59 dev2006 last message repeated 58 times
Jul 19 08:23:34 dev2006 last message repeated 59 times

and then the network is not responding anymore. 
Ready for the next suggestion... :)

regards,
Olivier
