problems with em(4) since update to driver 7.2.2

[Jack Vogel]

If you get the setup receive structures fail, then increase the nmbclusters.

If you use standard MTU then what you need are mbufs, and standard size
clusters (2K).
Only when you use jumbo frames will you need larger.

You must configure enough, its that simple.
