Thanks for hints. I've disabled MSIX and MSI:
kadlubek# sysctl hw.pci | grep msi
hw.pci.honor_msi_blacklist: 1
hw.pci.enable_msix: 0
hw.pci.enable_msi: 0

and reloaded if_em module. During initialization it confirmed, that
will not use MSI(X):
em0: <Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection 7.1.9> port 0xdc00-0xdc1f
mem 0xfe9e0000-0xfe9fffff,0xfe900000-0xfe97ffff,0xfe9dc000-0xfe9dffff
irq 24 at device 0.0 on pci2
em0: MSIX: insufficient vectors, using MSI
em0: No MSI/MSIX using a Legacy IRQ
em0: [FILTER]
em0: Ethernet address: 00:1b:21:9d:52:1b
em0: link state changed to UP

Though behavior hasn't change - I still see outgoing packets, and no
incoming traffic.

As far as I see, linux driver does that automagically, when no MSI(-X)
is available, then it fallbacks to IRQ:
 [   16.377387] e1000e 0000:02:00.0: (unregistered net_device): Failed
to initialize MSI-X interrupts.  Falling back to MSI interrupts.
 [   16.377511] e1000e 0000:02:00.0: (unregistered net_device): Failed
to initialize MSI interrupts.  Falling back to legacy interrupts.

Does anything come to your mind, that I can do, to debug, why this
card is not working?

Cheers,

Wiktor
