I have

ix0@pci0:5:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x00028086 chip=0x15288086 rev=0x01
hdr=0x00 vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'Ethernet Controller 10-Gigabit X540-AT2'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet

Hm, I cannot find out into which chipset number this translates for my
device...

So the next step could even be updating to -current...
OTOH, I get the same (bad) resulsts, no matter if TSO is enabled or
disabled on the interface.
