I'm having some problems with my Marwel NIC (msk0) and loss of connection.

I found a solution where one could use the settings below:

In

/etc/sysctl.conf

net.inet.tcp.tso=0

And in

/boot/loader.conf

hw.msk.msi_disable=1


This seems to work but the trade-off is that I now only have 100 mbit. 
Without the above settings I did have Gigabit but lost the connection.

Is there any way I can get back to Gigabit and still have a stable 
connection?

Thanks

/Leslie
