Is this a known issue?

pcictl(8) output:

001:00:0: Intel i82573E Gigabit Ethernet (ethernet network, revision 0x03)

ifconfig(8) output:

wm0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

capabilities=2bf80<TSO4,IP4CSUM_Rx,IP4CSUM_Tx,TCP4CSUM_Rx,TCP4CSUM_Tx,UDP4CSUM_Rx,UDP4CSUM_Tx,TCP6CSUM_Tx,UDP6CSUM_Tx>
enabled=0
address: 00:16:76:be:71:6c
media: Ethernet 10baseT
status: active
inet 67.80.148.102 netmask 0xfffffc00 broadcast 255.255.255.255
inet6 fe80::216:76ff:febe:716c%wm0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1

The ifconfig output is after I set the media type manually. If I do not do
that, I [or it] cannot talk to my cable modem. Of course, I pay extra for
cable modem service that supposedly can peak at 30mbps down, so the fact
that my modem uses 10BaseT is another story ... ;)
