4.6.2 made no changes to the drivers, it was only a security release.

The issue most likely is not with your ethernet cards but with our
handling of shared interrupts.  This is only a guess since without a dmesg
or other output, there's no way to be sure.  We hope you'll be interested
in trying FreeBSD in the future.
