I forgot to attach hardware details:
bce0: HP NC373i Multifunction Gigabit Server Adapter (B2) ASIC
0x57081021 Rev B2 B/C 0x04040105 Flags 2.5G
Additional data point: I cannot reconfigure the card to 100 Mbit
operation (currently in 1000baseSX autoselect, full-duplex).

The symptoms are:
* The device (bce0, bce1) comes up, is visible in ifconfig, can be
configured, is UP and RUNNING, everything looks fine
* Apparently, it simply doesn't work - no ping responses, TCP, nothing
* But tcpdump shows that the NIC apparently does receive multicast
router announcements, and some broadcast ARP traffic; only unicast
seems to be affected.
* Running "netstat 1" shows that apparently there are some packets
received - once a second or so, and the "err" counters are 0.
* Digging further, the dev.bce.0.stat_IfinFramesL2FilterDiscards
contains an increasing number, currently arround 57000 and the
dev.bce.0.stat_IfHCInBadOctets also contains an increasing number,
currently around 450,000, while ...InOctets is around 30,000 and
...OutBadOctets is 0.
From the sysctls it looks like maybe it's discarding valid input
packets. I've tried disabling rxcsum, txcsum and TSO without effect.
I cannot upgrade or install 8.0 because newusb has some problems with
the hardware.
Any ideas?
Can it be related to this PR 134788?
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=134788
(your problem sounds different, but anyway you can try 7-STABLE bce driver)
Recent changes in bce driver fixed it for me.
