I just got another lockup.
It looks like in the time of lockup the number of Ierrs is increasing:
Name    Mtu Network       Address              Ipkts Ierrs Idrop    =
Opkts Oerrs  Coll
em2    1500 <Link#3>      00:14:4f:XX:XX:XX 13060395 18438     0  =
6579984     1     0

After "ifconfig em2 down;ifconfig em2 up" Ierrs stays at 0 rate for long =
time.
Without DEVICE_POLLING it was similar situation.
