Any help would be appreciated. What I tried:
vi /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
FreeBSD: { enabled: yes }
pkg update
pkg install intel-em-kmod
vi /boot/loader.conf.local
if_em_updated_load="YES"
Reboot
Still will not connect at 1000baseT <full-duplex>

I did find this post (https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=21484.msg101092#msg101092) that says not to but compile from source. Wondering if that would help?

I did try different cables!

anyone have any ideas? I have been holding off building the drivers.

You don't need to build drivers for this network card it works out of the box with FreeBSD and OPNsense.
I have this nic to and never had problems with it:
em2: <Intel(R) I217-LM LPT>
Perhaps a UTP cable problem or hardware failure?
-
Just one additional troubleshooting thought would be to set the switch port to Gigabit rather than auto negotiate if that's possible. Let us know if you find a solution. I have a SFF PC with this card and I'd like to move my OPNsense install to it.
-
Not that it helps any but I put xigmanas on a dell desktop with the I217LM chipset and it will only connect at 100baseTX as well. I really don't want to get a PCI card for the computer if I can avoid it.

I have the same problem with intel onboard card. I need to reboot at least once every day to get back to 1000mbps... I don't even know when it falls back on 100mbps, I'm not always looking at it you know...
