>Description:
Port net/slurm 0.3.3 does not display the interface speed correctly for at least some gigabit NICs (and, I suspect, all of them on FreeBSD). Specifically, I know it doesn't work for Intel gigabit NICs that use the em(4) driver. 

This appears to be due to dodgy bitwise math in the upstream code. However, I note that the website given for the upstream code no longer appears to be working, so I'm not sure that there IS an upstream maintainer any longer.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run slurm against a gigabit interface (e.g., "slurm -i em0"). The "Interface Speed:" will display as "unknown".
>Fix:
Patch the src/if_media.c file in the source distribution to use the IFM_TYPE and IFM_SUBTYPE macros on FreeBSD, instead of using bitmasks. See attached patch.

(Note: I haven't researched to see what other UNIX variants supply these macros. For portability, and to future-proof the code against any future changes to the if_media options word, the macros should probably be used on as many systems as possible, instead of using hard-coded bitwise math.)
