Nah, I really am running recent 8/stable. My mistake was to try to apply 
the whole code of the if_bge.c to 8/stable.

Thanks a lot. Now the 'watchdog timeout' behaviour stopped, the driver 
reports nothing on the console, but the freezes, unfortunately - didn't 
stop. The machine is freezing at random periods of time, usually 1-2 
days, it partially stops answering to network (network services running 
on this machine close the connection, and other weird stuff happens), it 
partially responds on the console (I can type but I cannot login) and so 
on.  The asf feature has no influence on this - I tried to enable it, 
this happens anyway.

Should I try upgrade to 9 or 10, do they have more improvements in bge(4) ?

Eugene.
