Hey Guys! I Just Found Out How To Set Network Link Speed, So I Want To Share It With U Guys! The Reason I Learned This Is Because My Laptop's Network Won't Run Unless I Set To a Lower Speed In FreeBSD, So Here It Is:

First You Need To Know What Network Device You Are Using First, You Can Do That By Typing: "ifconfig" (Without The Quotes)

Then It Will Tell You What Device Name Is Your Network Card, Mine Is "sis0"

So Now That U Know The Name Of You Network Card, You Would Type The Following To Change The Link Speed Of Your Network Card:

ifconfig sis0 media 10baseT/UDP

After That, Reboot, If You Have Set Your Network To DHCP, If Will Get The IP This Time! Hope It Works For You!
