I have 2 NICs in my machine, both intel etherexpress pro:
Try setting an mtu of 1450 or so. You can add that to the ifconfig lines
in /etc/rc.conf, or run "ifconfig fxp0 mtu 1400" directly.
I've tried to do that, but the fxp cards do not seem to allow
modifying the mtu settings. It does have the capability of modifying
the vlanmtu, but I don't know if this will affect/help this issue.
Of course, it may be some other machine on your network which is generating
those oversize packets, or someone may be using some form of encapsulation
(PPTP?) which is pushing the frame size above the limit.
tcpdump would help...

PS: Oh, BTW, the fxp cards absolutely let you change the mtu? What does
ifconfig say...?
