Thanks for the suggestion. Either I am doing something wrong or

doesn't understand the polling argument. I'm wondering if it is
supported by the driver on this chipset.

You need to enable "options DEVICE_POLLING" in your kernel.

See polling(4).

I have it in my kernel, do I need to add polling in rc.conf too?

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?

Thanks!
