Are you on asymmetric DSL (ADSL) or some other residential connection =
s.t. the uplink pipe is
considerably smaller than the downlink pipe?

If so you could be seeing ACK starvation - it's a well understood =
problem, as is the solution -

This sounds similar to my problem.  When I have my computer on for some=20
time, my ndis0 driver with its Broadcom 1350 wifi card sometimes starts=20
going very slowly.  And even if this doesn't happen, xorg (I have the=20
same gnome and xorg set up as you) freezes up the computer while it is=20
exiting.  This is on FreeBSD 7.0 Beta 3.

I reported to freebsd-stable, but I didn't get any response.
