That might give the developers a better idea what's wrong. Make sure the hardware is OK. There are some old chipsets (RZ1000?) that are a known source of problems. Check the mailing list archives. Run memtest86 to check the RAM. Check if PCI cards are properly seated and if cables aren't loose. If you suspect the network interface, try another network card and see whether the problems disappear. If returning to IPFW fixes the problem, it might well be a problem with PF of with your ruleset.
