if_bfe hangs?

Hi,
I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 which has the Broadcom BCM4401 ethernet controller 
in it, so I am using if_bfe. Mostly it seems to work, but just recently I 
visted a friend who had a 10Mbit hub and I could reliably get my entire 
system to wedge if I did even a small amount of network activity..

Has anyone had a similar experience? I have a 10Mbit hub at work so I might 
see if it's repeatable, but it's a solid hang (can't break into debugger) so 
it might be difficult to debug :(
