I had a similar problem (altough on 6.0), which was solved by building 
the module libmpool:


 6    1 0xc0ccf000 3211c    if_myk.ko
 7    2 0xc0d02000 2518     libmbpool.ko


myk0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=2b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,JUMBO_MTU>


Again, this was on 6.0. I'd suggest you upgrade to 6.X if you still have 
troubles. I have been running this driver for about 20 days now, without 
any problem whatsoever.
