What version of FreeBSD is this?
Can you post the dmesg output for both (or more) of the nics on the
system, please?
What is the P'nP OS BIOS option set to on this box?

The reasoning behind my request for more information rests on the
following:-

1] There is a possibility of an IRQ conflict with another adapter on the
box

2] Duff ethernet cabling
