It's stable. See:

There's no "might be", it is.

Yes, though other people in certain circumstances have hit this same
thing with stock FreeBSD, and it doesn't seem there was ever any
resolution to those, as you said.

I suspect these scenarios are more about something to do with the
motherboard, or a BIOS quirk, or something of that nature than the
NICs themselves. Other things I would try:

- Reset BIOS to its defaults
- Upgrade the BIOS
- try a completely different piece of hardware, even with the same NICs

well under what you should be able to push.
