Hi:

On an AMD64X2 box running 2.5.1-DEVELOPMENT
DragonFly v2.5.1.927.gb527c-DEVELOPMENT
based on X86_64_GENERIC 
with options
 APIC_IO
 SMP

On running any of the commands,
# ping 10.10.10.1
or
# /etc/rc.d/sshd start

The following errors are seen 
intr2 at 17174/20000 hz, livelock removed
intr2 at 40001/40000 hz, livelocked limit engaged !
. ...
nfe0: watchdog timeout - lost interrupt recovered

The network access from this machine or to this machine is at 
best sporadic and SSH clients timeout.

The box has a NVIDIA nForce 405 Nvidia (nfe0 at pci0:0:7:0).

Is there any workaround to fix this issue ?
