 ouch... did I really write something that stupid? I took notice while
 reading your reply.
 
 Of course, you need to have DEVICE_POLLING in kernel, but the use of
 sysctl kern.polling.enable is deprecated.

 Clearly because of my wrong hint. Please try the following:
 
 include DEVICE_POLLING in your kernel config
 make sure, you don't use kern.polling.enable
 enable polling for your em0 device by using `ifconfig em0 polling'.
 
 Can you please try that?
 
 Sorry for my misinformation. Working on too much things in parallel.
