It would be even better to know whether the issue was triggered by bge(4) changes. I think you can use bge(4)/brgphy(4) of 8.3-RELEASE on your stable/8. Copy required files from 8.3-RELEASE to stable/8 and rebuild your kernel. For instance, Copy /usr/src/sys/dev/bge/if_bge.c from 8.3-RELEASE to /usr/src/sys/dev/bge on stable/8 Copy /usr/src/sys/dev/bge/if_bgereg.h from 8.3-RELEASE to /usr/src/sys/dev/bge on stable/8 Copy /usr/src/sys/dev/mii/brgphy.c from 8.3-RELEASE to /usr/src/sys/dev/mii on stable/8 Copy /usr/src/sys/dev/mii/brgphyreg.g from 8.3-RELEASE to /usr/src/sys/dev/mii on stable/8 And rebuild your kernel. > on.

No, there is no bge(4) functional differences between stable/8 and stable/9.
