That's weird.  The only difference between -CURRENT and -STABLE is 
this:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/bge/if_bge.c.diff?r1=1.91.2.21;r2=1.186

Are you sure it is okay with -CURRENT?

Ah, I see that you have IPMI module.  Can you add the following line 
in /boot/loader.conf:

hw.bge.allow_asf="1"

and reboot?
