works fine for me:

FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE #0 r213395

em0@pci0:0:25:0:class=0x020000 card=0x3035103c chip=0x10de8086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'Intel Gigabit network connection (82567LM-3 )'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet

#ping -s 1473 host
PING host(192.168.1.1): 1473 data bytes
1481 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=253 time=31.506 ms
