FreeBSD doesn't recognize last network interface

I'm working on a machine with six Ethernet interfaces -- all Intel fxp's.
Two of them are on the motherboard, and there are two PCI cards each
containing two more. Oddly, the kernel recognizes five of the six
interfaces at boot time, but not the sixth. Here's the dmesg output:
