I would:

root@piratinga:/usr/src/sbin/ifconfig# ifconfig -m fxp2
fxp2: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
         options=8<VLAN_MTU>
         capability list:
                 =b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU>
         ether 00:02:b3:8f:30:41
         media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
         status: active
         supported media:
                 media autoselect
