Just to add to the data point, this exact same system (sans the Qudaro)
worked for many months with bge as primary NIC under various iterations
of Nevada and OpenSolaris.  So I would concur with Gary that the fault
is something introduced post 134b, but remedied in Illumos based 148a.
The 2865 also has onboard nge, and that works fine, wh/I makes ruling
out something else in the stack a pretty safe bet.

I've been up to my ears with other things, but am curious if anyone has
checked Illumos bug tracker?

Best regards-- Ken
