Perhaps something to do with dhclient ?

It doesnt seem to happen too much on releng7.  I have been running 
your driver from the download page for almost a week and it happens a 
lot less than it does with the RELENG_6 version.  I know in RELENG_6, 
we periodically see the NIC wedge where it doesnt see incoming 
traffic.  Sending out a packet 'wakes it up again' and we see a
vr0: Using force reset command.
in the logs.  Havent see that yet on the modified RELENG_7 version, 
so so far so good!  I will try it on a few more boxes and do some 
more testing this week.
