Try setting the speed and duplex manually. Like this in rc.conf, but
with your real IP and netmask of course:

ifconfig_fxp0="inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 \
 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex"

I've seen problems with autonegotiate too. I wouldn't set up a
production box without setting this manually.
