msk watchdog timeout

Hi,

Once again, I had the msk watchdog timeout problem under moderate load. I've
surveyed msk related posts before.
There are many reports and solutions, but they seems not help for me.

Whenever I try to get a FreeBSD iso file through ftp (transfer rate is about
3 MB/s), msk would be down. Some messages from dmesg are like:
msk0: watchdog timeout
msk0: link state changed to DOWN
msk0: link state changed to UP
mskc0: Tx descriptor error
mskc0: Tx descriptor error
msk0: watchdog timeout
msk0: link state changed to DOWN
msk0: link state changed to UP

I used FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE before, since there is some related patch for msk
at FreeBSD-Current (if_msk.c rev. 1.18). I upgrade to Current, but the
problem seems not solved. Certainly, I tried to add hw.msk.legacy_intr="1"
in /boot/loader.conf. Whether disabling  MSI or not, the problem is as
before. In order to avoid shared interrupt, I've also disabled USB device in
BIOS, but not help.

Could you please tell me how to solve this problem.
Thanks a lot
