Have you tried to specify the "media" and "mediaopt" option, ie something
like this in rc.conf (this is directly pasted from mine) :

network_interfaces="fxp1 fxp0 lo0" # Network interfaces (lo0 is
loopback).
ifconfig_fxp1="inet 10.0.67.1 media 10BaseT/UTP mediaopt full-duplex
netmask 255
.255.255.0"
ifconfig_fxp0="inet 10.0.66.1 media 10BaseT/UTP mediaopt full-duplex
netmask 255
.255.255.0"

The default value is "auto", which more or less relies on the card to find
its own way around...

Take a peek at "man fxp" for the possible values of the media and mediaopt
options.
