With FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE, I'm finding significant packet loss  
(sometimes 85%).
If I insert an Intel nic (fxp), there is nil packet loss with similar  
tests (ping -c 100).

re0: <RealTek 8168/8111B PCIe Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xc800-0xc8ff  
mem 0xf9fff000-0xf9ffffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci1

I have seen a thread on current mentioning similar problems:
