It looks like fxp0/fxp1 is 82551 Pro and fxp2 is 82801 DB(ICH4).

That's normal. All ethernet drivers should detect link up event.

Hmm, I don't know layout of pfSense but I guess it's not good idea
to remove such a small/good program.

This looks odd, where is fxp2? Therere is no '+' mark in vmstat
output so I think there should be at least an entry for fxp2.
Because you have two differnet kinds of NICs would you let me know
which one is not working?
Also full dmesg output would be helpful, I guess.
