Your hardware is probably different.  This one is

alc0@pci0:3:0:0:        class=0x020000 card=0x022f1025 chip=0x10621969 rev=0xc0 hdr=0x00
     vendor     = 'Attansic (Now owned by Atheros)'
     device     = 'Atheros AR8132 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (AR8132)'
     class      = network
     subclass   = ethernet

It works with 8.2-PRERELEASE and a gigabit switch:

# ifconfig alc0 media 100baseTX
# dhclient alc0

It's slow to come up, so the /etc/rc.conf equivalent needs SYNCDHP:
ifconfig_alc0="SYNCDHCP media 100baseTX"
