Almost every 8255x card works just fine with a Netgear FS105 here in all modes. Say "almost" since I don't have an old 82556 card around. One of systems has a newer version on an Asus A7V running -stable, so doubt the problem is with FBSD or the card. Good cables and nailing down the modes fix most problems. Most likely a hardware or disposition, as we seem to say "doesn't like" when problems like this crop up, issue here.
