Marvell 88E8057 PCI-Express Gigabit LAN onboard NIC issues on Gigabit

[wirehub]

Hi

I have done an upgrade with my hardware and now have a Sapphire PURE Fusion Mini E350 with an onboard Marvell 88E8057 controller.
System is working stable but I am unable to get a proper Gigabit connection as it is loosing connection. DHCP offer seems ok , ping outside shows packetloss and after a while it looses connection.
When connecting to 100Mbit/s it runs smooth and stable but prefer to have a Gigabit connection

I found some issues with Freebsd 8.2 , I am running Freenas 8.2 beta 2 X64

some topics regarding Marvell 88E8057

Does anyone know how the driver for Marvell 88E8057 is configured or if the driver has been updated with the Freebsd update ?

Cable from Router is Cat6e and has been running Gigabit on my previous hardware build with an Intel Nic without issues
