gem0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu  
1500
         options=b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU>

I can SSH to the system and do some light work, but attempting to  
download any large-ish file results in the interface hanging.  Even  
applying the patch doesn't seem to fix it. I did just discover that  
unplugging/replugging the ethernet cable brings it back to life though.

If you'd like remote access to this system let me know and I could  
arrange something.
