--- Comment #7 from freebsd@coombscloud.com ---
I'm seeing similar behavior on a different Intel chip:

$ freebsd-version -kr
12.0-RELEASE-p4
12.0-RELEASE-p4

$ pciconf -lv
...
em0@pci0:0:31:6:        class=3D0x020000 card=3D0x86721043 chip=3D0x15b8808=
6 rev=3D0x31
hdr=3D0x00
    vendor     =3D 'Intel Corporation'
    device     =3D 'Ethernet Connection (2) I219-V'
    class      =3D network
    subclass   =3D ethernet

I will suddenly get the following kernel messages (the avail and pidx values
differ at each failure):
   kernel: em0: TX(0) desc avail =3D 42, pidx =3D 208
   kernel: em0: link state changed to DOWN

Followed by a constant stream of the following messages:
   kernel: em0: TX(0) desc avail =3D 1024, pidx =3D 0

This seems to be triggered by periods of high network activity. For example,
another computer has a backup task set to run once daily, which backs up a
SAMBA share hosted by this computer. This network failure often happens sho=
rtly
after that task begins.

I used 11.2-RELASE on this computer for some time and never encountered this
behavior with it.

I'll give net/intel-em-kmod a try.
