A followup to the above.
I replaced the 10/100 NIC with an old ed0. After a short time, the
problem reappeared. At this point, I was advised to try another cable
and a different port on the hub. After rebooting my gateway, every thing
settle down and there have been no recurring problems. I have yet to
isolate either the cable or the hub port as the cause of the problem, but
at least I've eliminated the NIC and the OS.
My thanks to those on undernet #freebsd which helped with this
problem.
