State-Changed-Why: 
This is not a bug, this is a problem in the negotiation on the other
side. If the switch you are attaching to is not supporting the fixed
setting of the speed and duplex settings or incorrectly negotiates then
this is not a problem of the driver nor the card but a switching
problem. Please try to findout FIRST what the real problem is and THEN
get back to me if this really is a FreeBSD problem (Discuss this on the
networking mailinglist please >
http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net/).
