As a followup, I tried backing out only the latest bge(4) changes and
now the system (sledge.freebsd.org) works again. Basically the system
responded to ICMP ping, but it seemed all other network trafic didn't
work, at least NFS mounts, NTP etc. failed at boot and ssh to the
system didn't work.
It now works with:
$FreeBSD: src/sys/dev/bge/if_bge.c,v 1.140 2006/08/24 14:41:16 oleg Exp $
$FreeBSD: src/sys/dev/bge/if_bgereg.h,v 1.52 2006/08/23 11:32:54 glebius Exp $
I can test patches if needed.
