The FEC works for me doing the following on 4.5-STABLE:

# cd /usr/src/sys
# tar -zxvf <path-to-download>/fec.tar.gz
# cd modules/netgrah/fec && make install

# kldload ng_fec.ko
# ngctl mkpeer fec dummy fec
# ngctl msg fec0: add_iface '"fxp0"'
# ngctl msg fec0: add_iface '"fxp1"'
# ngctl msg fec0: set_mode_inet

then it usually needs a "ifconfig fec0 up" to start moving packets.

Uplink is to a Cisco 3534 with the two ports setup with
"port group 1 distribution source", using "distribution destination" gives me
countless duplicates obviously because the same mac-address is on both
interfaces.
I also added the mac-address to forward to both interfaces using
"mac-address-table static"

With this setup the max throughput from one remote machine is the capacity of
one interface, but that is enaugh for me.
