State-Changed-Why: 
Not a fxp(4) bug.
This issue was caused by a bug in ipfilter's checksum offloading
handling. Consumer grade fxp(4) controllers support simple RX
checksum offloading capability and fxp(4) started to use that
feature. However ipfilter's checksum offloading logic has a bug
such that it incorrectly computes checksum of received frame and
dropped the frame.
See the kern/106438 for more details and possible fix.
You can disable RX checksum offloading of fxp(4) as temporary
workaround.
#ifconfig fxp0 -rxcsum
