BCM5704 routing problem

I upgraded my gateway last week to RELENG_8 and noticed that I can no
longer forward or receive IP packets from hosts on internal LAN.  When
trying to ping a host or the gateway IP itself, you get.

# ping 192.168.1.10
PING 192.168.1.10 (192.168.1.10): 56 data bytes
^C

--- 192.168.1.10 ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss 

All rc.conf files on gateway and hosts themselves had correct settings.

    cap 03[50] = VPD
    cap 05[58] = MSI supports 8 messages, 64 bit

Previously I was running 7.2 as gateway and never encountered any
problems.  I've since gone back to release 7.3 and routing works as
expected.

Any input would be appreciated.
