You can force the use by:
ifconfig xl0 media 10baseT/UTP

or to get things permanent in your /etc/rc.conf:

ifconfig_xl0="inet <your IP> netmask <your subnet mask> media 10baseT/UTP"

Note: this will be half-duplex. If you are connected to a switch instead of a
hub, add "mediaopt full-duplex".

Ciao
Siegbert
