Tried with the new driver on 9.3-BETA3.

It doesn't compile cleanly but commenting out an ifdef/endif made it compile.

It works, at least with 2 minutes of traffic I didn't see it freeze or hang.  I can load and unload the extension, no problems.

I've updated the bug report. I am posting this just in case someone is not following freebsd-net.
