Hm. Well, doing an ifconfig bge0 will likely do a bunch of queries to
the NIC to figure out what the current link status is.
I bet what's happening is that the link status isn't being updated
correctly, so lagg doesn't flip over.

Have a read of the FreeBSD handbook:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/
And if you have questions about the networking side of things, please
don't hesitate to email the list(s). We can turn whatever
question/answers you have into a chapter or two in the handbook.
