Hi,

the same was for me untill i upgraded BIOS up to the latest one
available from the MB vendor site

i run: FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE amd64 

on: Base Board Information
        Manufacturer: Supermicro
        Product Name: X8SIL-F
        Version: 0123456789

    BIOS Information
        Vendor: American Megatrends Inc.
        Version: 1.1
        Release Date: 05/27/2010

with external quad port ethernet card
igb0@pci0:3:0:0: class=0x020000 
		 card=0xa02b8086 
		 chip=0x10e88086 
		 rev=0x01 
		 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'Unknown (Unknown)'



this MB is the second one i was trying, several days ago i asked to
change it because of two onboard em(4) nics which worked unstable and
any load were hanging them out up to reboot

that time nothing helped (no one version of OS and bios upgrade), bUt
igb(4) was working perfectly

after the change the picture turned around until bios update and now
i'm still unable to make them (no em(4) nither igb(4)) to hang :) and
close to conclude the problem was in bios ...

but anyway, now i'm CVS-ing to RELENG_8 :)
