the media type is correctly recognized as 10baseT/UTP?

If yes, there may be a problem between freebsd and your new nic.

You said the machine in question is a dual boot machine? Which os OS
does it use? And the NIC works well with that other OS.

Could you try the following:
If some of your other machines runs the same OS as that with the NIC
working flawless, try to change the NICs of the two machines (I hope
it's not a onboard one).

If it's a onboard one try adding a second NIC to the machine and see if
that is working.
