Built the module if_bfe manually and booted up my 4.9-p2-RELEASE on Dell 
Inspiron 8500.

Note that it says status "no carrier". I managed to change this 
behaviour by issuing "ifconfig bfe0 media 100BaseTX", which correctly 
identified carrier as "Active", but a crash occurred a few second after 
that. Tried other variations of ifconfig to change mediaoptions with the 
same results. Putting if_bfe_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf resulted in 
more crashes. Sighs ..

Help. Anyone .. ?
