Perhaps you can test this with a cross cable directly to another machine or something like that. No carrier mostly means that it didn't detect the link, or that you didn't plug anything in. Could you please discuss this on the mailinglist (net@FreeBSD.org) first please and get back to me in case this is worth a PR? (http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net for more information about the mailinglist). Thanks! http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=122582
