    1. freebsd-stable is the proper list, not freebsd-current.
    2. I have a similar chipset (not the same though) that hasn't had
any issues for a while:

$ pciconf -lv | grep -A 3 msk
mskc0_at_pci0:2:0:0:	class=0x020000 card=0x81f81043 chip=0x436411ab

    vendor     = 'Marvell Semiconductor (Was: Galileo Technology Ltd)'
    device     = 'Yukon PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (88E8056)'
    class      = network
$ devinfo -v | grep -A 3 mskc0
            mskc0 pnpinfo vendor=0x11ab device=0x4364 subvendor=0x1043

    Sorry for not grabbing the full dmesg output, but unfortunately I
have BUS_DEBUG turned on for this test box, which blows out my syslog
buffer at boot :).
    I've CCed yongari_at_ for comment.
