Now this is quite interesting, though (in my case) it has nothing to do with the bge driver.
Several of us have had problems with the RealTek interfaces - or is it something to do with the rge driver? What's interesting is that, in all cases, the problems seemed to appear after 134a. I have posted something of a bug report at Illumos, but I don't really have enough concrete diagnostic data of much use, I'm afraid. Yes, I know, the obvious answer is 'buy an Intel interface', but now I'm curious... !

Just to add to the data point, this exact same system (sans the Qudaro) worked for many months with bge as primary NIC under various iterations of Nevada and OpenSolaris. So I would concur with Gary that the fault is something introduced post 134b, but remedied in Illumos based 148a. The 2865 also has onboard nge, and that works fine, wh/I makes ruling out something else in the stack a pretty safe bet. I've been up to my ears with other things, but am curious if anyone has checked Illumos bug tracker?
