It seems you're hitting this old bug which is still open after 10 years:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=166724

The bug states there's a Realtek driver in Ports that doesn't experience this 
issue but I have never tested it. I tend to stay away from Realtek's NICs in 
computers I want to run 24/7.

AFAIK, with the native driver you need to power cycle the NIC when this happens.
