I am currently running -STABLE with fxp card with no problems.
I am in the middle of a multiple hundreds of GB transfer (280GB)
with no problems so far. My only change was to force the "media"
and "mediaopt" functionality in ifconfig so that my Cisco switch
would stop erroring out (maybe your problem?)
My configs: (none of the unimportant data is real, sorry)
