 That probably was because of nsphy(4) not being the correct driver
 in order to determine the link status of this PHY.

 Could you please give a kernel built with the patch at:
 http://people.freebsd.org/~marius/nsphyter.diff
 or for RELENG_6:
 http://people.freebsd.org/~marius/nsphyter.diff_RELENG_6
 instead of the patch for nsphy(4) a try?
