We have a 6.3-STABLE router that has worked flawlessly with our quad 
port Intel card...
100 - 200Mbps with occational peaks of 500 - 600Mbps, no problem.

FYI, Our newer FreeBSD 7.0 router (with a slightly newer quad Intel Pro 
PT card) has watchdog timeouts... a couple of 1 or 2 second outages a day.
Maybe 6.3 is better... any one else seeing watchdog timeouts with their emX?

How many bbs are people getting out of their boxes in production?
