I have exactly the same problem on my Thinkpad R30, with FreeBSD 4.7, 4.8, 
4.9, 5.0, 5.1)

The strange thing is that at first everything works fine with 4.7 several 
months ago. One day I decide to move to NetBSD because of the agp 
compatibility problem in all FreeBSD version since 4.8 (I think the agp 
problem is a registered bug, someone told me that in some mailing list, I 
don't remember.) After using NetBSD for about a month, the notebook crashed 
when I compile php4, and since then fxp begins to always report that error 
message and never work anymore. I installed a dozen versions of FreeBSD, 
none of them makes fxp work, while Windows 98 works with that NIC okay.
