Others have noticed the same thing, see PR's kern/94863 (5714 controller), kern/92090 (unknown controller), kern/68351 (5704 controller) I have found with the machine I'm testing with that plugging the Broadcom interface into a 10BaseT hub will make the problem go away. Of course, the chip sets itself up as 10BaseT, half-duplex then. Gleb Smirnoff stated in PR kern/68351 that he needs hardware to work on this.
