I managed to change this behaviour by issuing "ifconfig bfe0 media 100BaseTX", which correctly identified carrier as "Active", but a crash occurred a few second after that. Tried other variations of ifconfig to change mediaoptions with the same results. Putting if_bfe_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf resulted in more crashes. Sighs .. Help.
