Your patch makes this network card interesting. It is now working faster and saving more resources :-) I hope it will find it's way at least into -CURRENT The locukups might have been solved by your patch or by: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/cvs-src/2007-November/084247.html Anyway, I have now 2 days uptime without any network-card or storage problems at all.
