Pertinent part of dmesg:

fxp0: <Intel Pro 10/100B/100+ Ethernet> port 0xe800-0xe81f mem 
0xd5000000-0xd50fffff,0xd5100000-0xd5100fff irq 11 at device 10.0 on pci0
fxp0: Ethernet address 00:a0:c9:39:62:0f
nsphy0: <DP83840 10/100 media interface> on miibus0
nsphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto

Last 2 lines of dmesg:

fxp0: device timeout
fxp0: device timeout

Auto-neg with LinkSys EZXS88W switch.

See also message from Dan Kogai; apparently the same problem.
