I have committed a changeset after 6.2-RELEASE which could have fixed
your problem.  Could you please try if later FreeBSD releases still
suffer from this problem?

Revision 1.2.2.8 Thu Jan 18 16:14:19 2007 UTC delphij

MFC if_bce.c (1.23-24), if_bcereg.h (1.11):

 - Instead of if_watchdog/if_timer interface use our own timer
   that piggybacks on bce_tick() callout.
 - Instead of unconditionally resetting the controller, try to
   skip the reset in case we got a pause frame, like em(4) did.
 - Lock bce_tick() using callout_init_mtx().

Cheers,
