I've seen this a few times on Cisco switches; telnet to the switch and look at the interface that is connected to the pfSense box (show int fastethernet 0/#) and see if it is running at full or half duplex. If it's half, then manually set the interface to full duplex with the following commands...
conf t int fastethernet 0/$ duplex full speed 100 You may need to power cycle the pfSense box but it should fix the issue. Ensure that you save the config on the Cisco switch with write memory. Sorry for the simplicty, I don't know what level of Cisco you are...
