I'm coming somewhat late to this thread, but I had exactly the same problems with fxp0 on IBM's PC 300PL workstation. However, I was able to "fix" it by turning ON the Eth. card in BIOS setup :-) It just happened to be disabled before. Funny thing, though - normally, when you disable the card in the BIOS, FreeBSD can't even discover it. Here it finds it, but then it wedges the system...
