I am experiencing the same thing with an Intel eSeries 335. When I type
"ifconfig bge0 up" the system hangs. No DDB, no panic, no nothing. Setting
hw.bge.allow_asf="0" in loader.conf does not solve the problem.

I also observat that the switch initially negotiates 100Mbps. After typing
"ifconfig bge0 up" the switch negotiates 1Gbps, although the system is frozen.
