dc0 card drops connection on FreeBSD 6.1

[Loren M. Lang]

I am having issues with an ethernet card running under FreeBSD
6.1-RELEASE.  It is dc0 and pciconf reports it as Conexant Systems.
Network connections hang most of the time and usually timeout.  FTP and
HTTP downloads with move along for a short time and hang every 3% or so
for several minutes before continuing or timing out.  I installed
FreeBSD 6.1 a month ago on a fresh hard drive, but about 5 months ago my
old hard drive crashed which was running FreeBSD 5.4, though I never had
any issues with the network card for 5.4 or, previously, 4.9.  This
system was running for several years with no issues until the Hard drive
crashed 5 months ago.

dc0: <Conexant LANfinity MiniPCI 10/100BaseTX> port 0x1400-0x14ff mem
0xf4000000-0xf4003fff irq 9 at device 9.0 on pci0
miibus0: <MII bus> on dc0
ukphy0: <Generic IEEE 802.3u media interface> on miibus0
ukphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto
dc0: Ethernet address: 00:50:8b:ab:99:d5
pci0: <simple comms> at device 9.1 (no driver attached)
pci0: <multimedia, audio> at device 10.0 (no driver attached)
