OK, I've enabled polling in my kernel and did ifconfig bge0 polling and it accepted it and shows that polling is enabled on bge0 when checking with ifconfig. Unfortunately, this did not resolve the packet loss issue I wrote about originally. I still have the same loss. :( Any other ideas? Does anyone run a PowerEdge 2650 with FreeBSD 6.0 or later that's on this list?
