Hello!
I've same problems on 5.4-STABLE:
/var/run/dmesg.boot:
FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #5: Tue Sep 13 16:14:10 EEST 2005
em0: <Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection, Version - 1.7.35> port 0xbc00-0xbc1f mem 0xff8e0000-0xff8fffff irq 18 at device 1.0 on pci1
em0: Ethernet address: 00:0c:f1:cf:7e:b6
em0:  Speed:N/A  Duplex:N/A

/etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_em0="inet ... netmask ... media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex"

/var/log/messages:
Sep 20 15:51:40 tak kernel: em0: Link is up 100 Mbps Full Duplex
Sep 20 17:01:40 tak kernel: em0: Link is up 100 Mbps Full Duplex
Sep 20 18:48:16 tak kernel: em0: Link is up 100 Mbps Full Duplex

switch: Catalyst 3550
I changed ports: 100M to 1GB and back; changed cables, but...
no positive results :(
