is your card in polling mode ?

it seems that since a month almost all NICs are having the timeout/up-down 
trouble on releng_6 and it is worse when running SMP kernel

It seems that sometimes and IRQ conflict is envolved and setting the 
IRQs/Slots better the timeout do go away or running the cards in polling mode 
also helps

For FXP you may also try to download the microcode with `ifconfig fxp0 link0`
