  I don't know what to make of it right now, i would suggest going minimal, meaning go to a single
  queue and see what the behavior is.

    Looks like nmbclusters sysctl changes need to loader.conf so they are available early enough for the driver.

    We haven't rebooted to test that yet as the machine is under so little network load I wouldn't expect raising it from 1024 to 2048 RX descriptors to make any real difference, what do you recon?

      Have you gotten rid of the rx descriptors exceeded problem?
