I'm now running the latest BIOS for my X60 version 2.22 with the same

Sorry, it does not work when having a b2b connection, never said that. 
But I noticed another thing:

It is important that the device was up without a cable connected:

1. power off completely
2. boot freebsd without a cable connected
3. in a rootshell do ifconfig em0 up
4. connect the cable
5. no link
