Possible regression with msk driver

[Mel Flynn]

Hi,

I just booted a box from 7.2-p4 to FreeBSD 8.0-PRERELEASE #0 r199185. It 
didn't ping, even though the interface was marked up and active. No traffic at 
all.

The fix was to ifconfig msk0 down; ifconfig msk0 up. From then on, everything 
worked and still is:
mskc0: <Marvell Yukon 88E8056 Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xe800-0xe8ff mem 
0xf9efc000-0xf9efffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci3
msk0: <Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Yukon EC Ultra Id 0xb4 Rev 0x03> on mskc0
msk0: Ethernet address: 00:1b:fc:e3:9b:6a
miibus0: <MII bus> on msk0
e1000phy0: <Marvell 88E1149 Gigabit PHY> PHY 0 on miibus0
e1000phy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseT, 
1000baseT-FDX, auto
mskc0: [FILTER]

mskc0 at pci0:3:0:0:       class=0x020000 card=0x826e1043 chip=0x436411ab 
rev=0x12 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Marvell Semiconductor (Was: Galileo Technology Ltd)'
    device     = 'Yukon PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (88E8056)'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet

msk0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=11a<TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,TSO4>
        ether 00:1b:fc:xx:xx:xx
        inet 192.168.xxx.xxx netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.xxx.255
        media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex,flag0,flag1,flag2>)
        status: active

Now - this machine still had 7.x /etc/rc.d, but since ifconfig down/up fixed 
the problem I don't know if this is a likely suspect.

My onsite contact is unavailable right now, but if she gets back I will reboot 
the machine with the mergemaster'd rc.d to see if it's reproducible.
The machine is a dual core 64-bit running i386 SMP kernel with 4G memory and a 
few ACPI problems:
ACPI APIC Table: <A M I  OEMAPIC >
ACPI Warning: \\_SB_.PCI0.SBRG.FDC_._FDE: Return type mismatch - found 
Package, expected Buffer 20090521 nspredef-1051
ACPI Warning: Incorrect checksum in table [OEMB] - 4E, should be 43 20090521 
tbutils-275

With release around the door, I figured I'd get this out there, at the risk of 
posting  a red herring.
