Hmm, just kind of a 'me too', but I've noticed some unusual behaviour with the link state of em as well. It seems that if the interface is in the "down" state, it always shows as "no carrier" even if something is plugged in. It isn't until something tries to configure it or I manually issue an ifconfig up that it actually autonegotiates the link speed, etc. Most (all that support link state?) other network drivers in FreeBSD seem to report the link state even if the interface is down. I know for sure that fxp and xl do. IMHO this is a useful feature because it allows sufficiently smart scripts to change their behavior -- i.e. only run dhclient on interfaces that actually have something plugged in.
