Hi Jack,
FYI, I am still seeing this same problem on RELENG_8 (code
as of today). Unfortunately I cant try Pyun's patch since the
underlying code has changed since then.
em4 at pci0:3:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x34ec8086 chip=0x10d38086
rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = 'Intel 82574L Gigabit Ethernet Controller (82574L)'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
cap 01[c8] = powerspec 2 supports D0 D3 current D0
cap 05[d0] = MSI supports 1 message, 64 bit enabled with 1 message
cap 10[e0] = PCI-Express 1 endpoint max data 128(256) link x1(x1)
cap 11[a0] = MSI-X supports 5 messages in map 0x1c
pci3: <ACPI PCI bus> on pcib3
em4: <Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection 7.0.5> port 0x1000-0x101f
mem 0xb1900000-0xb191ffff,0xb1920000-0xb1923fff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci3
em4: Using MSI interrupt
em4: [FILTER]
em4: Ethernet address: 00:15:17:ed:3e:c4
