 I had same problem and patched the fxp driver manually using 
 3.0-RELEASE patch found somewhere http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi.  The 
 patch applied almost cleanly to 3.1-STABLE.  I think the 3.1-STABLE 
 now have bridge enabled fxp driver, the 4.0-CURRENT definitely have. 
 You seem to use 3.1-RELEASE kernel, not stable, how you downloaded 
 3.1-STABLE? Use CVSup and upgrade your sources to 3.1-STABLE, you can 
 get info about it in handbook 
 http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/stable.html.
