Hi, We have a Dell 1950 with the same problem (bce). We tried debug.mpsafenet=0, but to no avail. It's a very frustrating show-stopper for us as well, we're moving all 1950 out of the production environment. Any help would be greatly appreciated. See mail to freebsd-current mail attached. Kind

I've been experiencing this problem too, along with my USB keyboard acting 'wonky' (stuttering from time to time). For me at least it seems to be tied to CPU usage, meaning it's probably related to the taskqueue or maybe even the scheduler. I can also reproduce the problem on a much bigger scale
