em0 hangs without any messages like "Watchdog timeout", only down/up reset it.

Hi Lev,
	What if you try with just the defaults ?  Not sure the patch posted by
jack and sean will help as its meant for a specific type of em nic, but
the RELENG_8 version I am testing with is here

 http://www.tancsa.com/if_em-8.c.

There is a patch to jack's patch by Sean as well thats incorporated in
that version
