I have no idea what you are trying to accomplish with the above, but it is
weird in the extreme. The problem that you are describing sounds like a duplex
negotiation problem with your switch. Try setting both sides to full duplex.
For the FreeBSD side remove your cronjob and then:
ifconfig fxp0 140.113.214.152 netmask 0xffffff00 media 100basetx mediaopt full-duplex
You'll also need to modify your /etc/rc.conf as well with the new
media/mediaopt so that it is set correctly after a reboot.
You'll have to consult your switch manual for how to configure it for
full duplex.
