I am still experiencing this problem on a PowerEdge 1950 running amd64
port with the patch mentioned in this pr:

Hmm... I can see several bus_dma(9) related bugs in bce(4).
For architectures that have IOMMU hardware it may have corrupted DMA
mapping and I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work on sparc64.
When it has to handle many fragmented frame or has insufficient
number of free Tx descriptors it would show unexpected results.
Unfortunately I don't have hardwares supported by bce(4) and
fixing requiries a working hardware. :-(
