Sooo... cut & paste or no, I assume it works fine when you don't use the
 faulty line with the hyphen and the appropriate spelling of 100baseTX
 that Sheldon suggested, right?  You didn't really say.

If you still have a problem after you've used the correct spelling
 of these args (consult the man pages first in the future, specifically
 fxp(4) & ifconfig(8) in this case), I don't know what your problem may be.
 The error message certainly seems to point to the misspelling error.
