Someone else, just yesterday, posted the a similar problem on the -stable list. He was using a 4-port ZNYX card (de driver also). With the de driver in -stable, he got a huge number of output errors, but no errors on input. Using the ZNYX supplied driver for FreeBSD instead of de, the problem didn't exist. FWIW, I'm using a 4-port ZNYX card with the stock de driver on 3.3-stable without any problems - 10BaseT and 100BaseT, both at half-duplex.
