Hi,

can you try the attached patch (relative to RELENG_5).  It disables batch=20
transfers from the system queue to the driver - an optimization introduced=
=20
while enabling rl(4) for ALTQ.  Please let me know if it improves the=20
situation.  If it does, this is a sign of a more fundamental problem in the=
=20
driver locking (or the card timing) and needs further evaluation.

Thanks.
