Sorry for taking so long: the machine had been shut down nad was moved
in production and powered back up only yesterday.
So far I didn't see that problem again, but I don't think it is
sustaining as much traffic as when I was installing everything.
Also the switch it was connected to at the time was a 100Mb/s one; the
one it's connected to now is 1000Mb/s.
In both case it is/was a dumb switch and I had no physical access, so I
could not check the lights.
So I doubt the data you asked for can help, however:
# ifconfig ale0
ale0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
