At some point in time, in late February, I had the same issue on a
6-interface machine. I tracked this down to the fact that the main
loop in em_setup_receive_ring() was not being entered. This resulted
in junk being returned as `error' is not explicitly initialized. At
the time, the following patch worked for me. Without it the driver was
unable to initialize with RX/TX ring's size of 512. With it, ring's
size of 1024 initialized fine.

I did not dig much more at the time, but I was definitively seeing an
odd behavior. Anyhow, I am no longer able to reproduce this with
7.2.3, so cannot dig in more details.
Btw, I wish you all luck, it took me nearly two full months to
convince Jack (and other FreeBSD devs) that there was a bug in the
mbuf refresh code.
