kernel: em1: Watchdog timeout -- resetting
-
Getting tons of these....
Running Intel dual port ET 1000 pro adapters.
Everything seems to be working as it should.

Hmm... I would not say everything is working. Those errors point to something being really not right. If it just started up out of the blue, my first suspicion would be hardware. Could even be something as simple as the card needs reseating into the slot to make sure it has a good connection with the bus.
There were issues with hardware watchdog timeouts with the generic FreeBSD drivers for Realtek NICs, and in that case compiling and using the Realtek-supplied native drivers corrected the problem. However, Intel NICs have historically been very well behaved in FreeBSD using the kernel drivers.
Just asking, but are you 100% positive beyond a shadow of a doubt that you have genuine Intel NIC hardware? There are some cheap Chinese knockoffs of popular Intel NICs out there for sale. If you got a "steal of a deal" on the NIC, I would be suspicious.

Hi B.
Yeah. 100% sure. Bought them off Intel themselves :)
I went to the Interface page and chose autoselect instaed of default and the errors were gone immediately.
Weird.
