      See if it can be reproduced with FreeBSD 10.1; if so, report a bug upstream.  Seems like a popular adapter to have a problem like this, so I imagine it's been seen before if it's a FreeBSD issue.

        Hello all,

        thank you for reply. Im using Fujitsu Ethernet Controller PRO/1000PT (Fujitsu material number: 88040024) on ASUS P5GC-MX/1333. And i can fit it only on PCIE x16 slot.
        Seems when i turn off and on machine it starts NIC properly. But when it restarts it does not power it on at all.
        I have feeling its motherboard related issue. Did anyone tried to place anything on this motherboard in PCIE x16 slot? I even updated BIOS, but have same issue. Its like motherboard does not power it up after soft reset. But at another hand, shouldn't it be something in driver to do that? I have "live cable" from another PC plugged in to see will it initialize or not.

        Just now im sitting and looking mine machines monitor on live CD says
        WAN em0 - No IP 
        LAN em1 - 192.168.1.1/24

        BUT, it does not show me other two adapters broadcom and realtek anymore. One is in PCI slot, and another is integrated. Please guys, dont shoot me at wall on first sight. Im trying to understand whats happening, dont expect from me to know things :)

        Anyways if someone find suitable to reply with any kind of info, guidance you are more than welcome :)

        Cheers!

              As already requested, can you post the relevant 'pciconf -lv' output?

                        Was your paste truncated? I don't see an em0 device listed, just realtek and Atheros network devices.

                          No its not truncated, all is there. mine problem IS that sometimes that Intel is not powered on at all. Only when i shut down machine completely and power up back it works fine untill next soft reboot when shut downs completely.

                            Uh. We obviously need to see the state when it IS detected. When it's not detected, there no info from pciconf or anything else.

                              Is detected on cold boot but not detected on warm boot -> disable power saving/standby features in the BIOS.

                              We need pciconfig output from both conditions to see what is actually not detected. It's possible this isn't the NIC at all but some PCI bridge that is not recovering from low power state.

                                That particular motherboard also has an advanced bios setting called 'slot power' change it to normal or higher from the default setting of 'auto'

                                        Did you try stephenW10's suggestion? "Is detected on cold boot but not detected on warm boot -> disable power saving/standby features in the BIOS"

                                            Can we see your dmesg.boot from /var/log from a warm boot when the NICs are not detected.
                                            There's a bug that I've only seen on Supermicro boards (so far) that causes the driver not to attach due to a resource allocation that could come into play here. Shows up in the boot logs though.
