It does this for me too. I had a similar problem under earlier versions of
FreeBSD -- this issue it seems is with the driver not handling media auto

l have fixed it before under syllable by forcing the realtek driver to use a
fixed media.

Mine didn't take an hour or two to recover, but it did drop lots of frames.

I am almost certain this is a driver issue and not a kernel issue.
