A new version of the em drivers went into the tree Friday.
>dev.em.0.%desc: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection Version - 6.7.3
dev.em.0.%desc: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection 6.9.0
dev.em.0.%driver: em
dev.em.0.%location: slot=0 function=0
dev.em.0.%pnpinfo: vendor=0x8086 device=0x108c subvendor=0x15d9

Also, post some of the stats. Do a
sysctl -w dev.em.1.stats=1
to all of your em nics
em1: Excessive collisions = 0
em1: Sequence errors = 0
em1: Defer count = 0
em1: Missed Packets = 0
em1: Receive No Buffers = 0
em1: Receive Length Errors = 0
em1: Receive errors = 0
em1: Crc errors = 0
em1: Alignment errors = 0
em1: Collision/Carrier extension errors = 0
em1: RX overruns = 0
em1: watchdog timeouts = 0
em1: RX MSIX IRQ = 0 TX MSIX IRQ = 0 LINK MSIX IRQ = 0
em1: XON Rcvd = 0
em1: XON Xmtd = 0
em1: XOFF Rcvd = 0
em1: XOFF Xmtd = 0
em1: Good Packets Rcvd = 71949
em1: Good Packets Xmtd = 2507
em1: TSO Contexts Xmtd = 369
em1: TSO Contexts Failed = 0
And are you using gigabit or fastE. If fastE, try disabling TSO as
some people have said they have problems with it at 100Mb.
