        This is not a specific pfSense problem. You may have more luck asking for help on the FreeBSD forums. Perhaps someone there has worked around this issue before.

            https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=269196

            This is where they updated the EM driver .. talks about shared code in the update.. Also submitted a bug

            https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196501

            Now the question is.  If they fix it in freebsd10.1 will it get into Pfsense and how fast?

            Is there a way to downgrade to the driver used in 8.1 till they fix maybe?

            I got the older driver but MAKE and PKG_Add are not part of pfense.. PKG_add use to be.. really starting to hate PFSENSE

              Drivers are not FreeBSD packages that you can add.
              There are no build tools at all in pfSense, including them would only be a security risk.
              FreeBSD 10 moved to the pkgng package system.
              The driver subsystems changed a lot between 8.3 and 10.1, i'd be surprised if you're able to compile an 8.3 driver against 10.1 source.
              It's my belief that it's not the driver anyway but some resource management component.

              You might try to find exactly which FreeBSD version introduced the issue. Looking at the other bug reports we've referenced in this thread it may have been 9.0 or 9.1.

                Solved!

                hint.agp.0.disabled=1
                in loader.conf fixes the problem. :)

                    I found by submitting a bug to Intel and someone gave me that to try.. that fixed it.

                      Ah. Importantly that person was John Baldwin. I'm not going to feel bad not knowing something he does.  ;)
                      Anyway I'm happy a workaround exists and that key FreeBSD people are aware of it.

                        Interestingly, this isn't a em driver bug (as upthread wanted to pursue), but rather a PCI bus issue.
