i got the same problem in 2.2.5 .... anyway... i need to use 2.2.2
because of another driver ... is it possible to use the current driver
in 2.2.2 without getting this problem and what is the advantage of
the new driver ... i now some unnice effects

net.inet.ip.intr_queue_drops: 19418 <--------- 

and i hope i can solve this problem.
