>Description:
I have a Dell R710 with a 4 Port Intel 1000 ethernet controller using the igb driver:

# pciconf -lv
igb0 at pci0:7:0:0:	class=0x020000 card=0xa02c8086 chip=0x10e88086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'Unknown (Unknown)'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet
igb1 at pci0:7:0:1:	class=0x020000 card=0xa02c8086 chip=0x10e88086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'Unknown (Unknown)'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet
igb2 at pci0:8:0:0:	class=0x020000 card=0xa02c8086 chip=0x10e88086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'Unknown (Unknown)'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet
igb3 at pci0:8:0:1:	class=0x020000 card=0xa02c8086 chip=0x10e88086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'Unknown (Unknown)'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet

# sysctl -a|grep igb0
dev.igb.0.%desc: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection version - 1.9.5
dev.igb.0.%driver: igb
dev.igb.0.%location: slot=0 function=0
dev.igb.0.%pnpinfo: vendor=0x8086 device=0x10e8 subvendor=0x8086 subdevice=0xa02c class=0x020000
dev.igb.0.%parent: pci7
dev.igb.0.debug: -1
dev.igb.0.stats: -1
dev.igb.0.flow_control: 3
dev.igb.0.enable_aim: 1
dev.igb.0.rx_processing_limit: 100

I also have an Intel 10Gb controller (ix0) using the ixgb driver:

ix0 at pci0:6:0:0:	class=0x020000 card=0xa06f8086 chip=0x10f48086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet

As soon as I upgraded (using freebsd-update upgrade -r 8.1-RELEASE), and booted into the new kernel, the system panics after the network startup script runs. If the nic's are not assigned an ip address and left un-configured, no panic occurs.

I don't have a camera, or a serial console to capture the panic, however, it looks strikingly similar to this users post:

>How-To-Repeat:
on a 8.1-RELEASE amd64 system with a intel (igb/ixgb) device:

ifconfig igb0 inet 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
