--- Comment #11 from karl@denninger.net ---
I've had problems with the interfaces covered by if_re and the kmod driver
versions -- either I get interface timeouts and resets, nothing (for one of the
kmod versions) or lots of retries under iperf3 when stressed under load.

The "factory" (in-kernel) driver under stress will hang and reset quite
reliably on 2.5G LAN ports, particularly if you try to use two of them in a box
as a gateway/firewall.  Its severe enough that I consider these ports to be
unusable under FreeBSD although I have one in my Windows desktop machine and
under Windows it works acceptably-well, including under fairly-extreme stress
(e.g. image backups, rendering video to network drives, etc.) all at 2.5G
speeds.
