Your hardware is probably different. This one is
alc0@pci0:3:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x022f1025 chip=0x10621969 rev=0xc0 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Attansic (Now owned by Atheros)'
device = 'Atheros AR8132 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (AR8132)'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
It works with 8.2-PRERELEASE and a gigabit switch:
# ifconfig alc0 media 100baseTX
# dhclient alc0
It's slow to come up, so the /etc/rc.conf equivalent needs SYNCDHP:
ifconfig_alc0="SYNCDHCP media 100baseTX"
