After noticing the problem went away in Safe Mode, and then figuring out what Safe Mode actually does*, I've worked around the problem by disabling the APIC device, which, I gather, forces FreeBSD to use the old-fashioned IRQ timers. This fix will not work if you want to run an SMP kernel in

Why device sk (PCI Gigabit Ethernet) cannot use polling?

Hi, The sk device has no polling support, neither in 5 nor in 6. Is there a particular reason (maybe because it's a Gigabit device) ? Or is polling not supported because it simply has not yet been coded? If so, would it be straightforward to add the code? Thanks, Rob.
