There had been several re(4) instability issues on PCIe based
controllers. Would you try the following patch and let me know the
result?
http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/re/6.3R/re.busdma.patch

If you use 7.0-RELEASE use the following one.
http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/re/7.0R/if_re.c
http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/re/7.0R/if_rlreg.h
Sorry, I forgot to precise that I run the amd64 7.0-RELEASE .
I got the patch and recompiled the kernel fine. I'll test this evening.

I'm sorry, but the patch just get things worse. The IP header thing isn't solved. And I get corrupted or missing TCP fragments, on both 8168 and 8169 net interfaces (even with -txcsum).
