Hi everyone!
I recently upgraded from 25.1 to 25.7.
The current version is 25.7.10.
However, after upgrading, the LAN keeps repeating detach and attach, and ultimately cannot connect to the system.
The system can only be used again after reboot.

What should I do?
Should I downgrade to 25.1?
I cannot comment on changes between 25.1 and 25.7 specifically, nor first hand experience with bge interfaces ....
... BUT if you have ASPM enabled in the BIOS, I'd try turning that off (everywhere).
Also set a tuneable, then reboot after setting:
hw.pci.enable_aspm=0
.. has fixed all sorts of interface randomness over the years for me, although primarily on Intel. Then if you want to narrow it down after - i.e it resolves the issue - selectively re-enable.
You can check ASPM state with:
pciconf -lcv |grep -i aspm
