In a windows system a pci card can share it's irq.
In FBSD pci cards can not share irq's.
Check pc bios irq hardware summary display before FBSD
starts to boot to verify no irq conflicts.
Move nic card to different slot other than first or last slot.

You didn't say what card you are using, or what computer/processor you have
but try this. Disable PNP in your machine's bios. Some NIC's have problems
with it.
