http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-bridging.html
25.5.3.1 Network Interface Card Selection
A bridge requires at least two network cards to function. Unfortunately, not all network interface cards as of FreeBSD 4.0 support bridging. Read bridge(4) for details on the cards that are supported.
Should probably be updated to 5.4 but mainly man 4 bridge does not list supported ethernet cards.
>How-To-Repeat:
Read the handbook section and man pages

I don't have enough information to attempt a fix
