Weird behavior with Intel X550 NIC

I recently noticed my wifi connection was oddly slow/sluggish. After some time rebooting/upgrading my WAP, I found that at pfsense the link speed was running at 100Mb. This used to be running at "Unknown" (2.5Gb) and was quite speedy.
Somewhere along the way something either broke (on the NIC itself) or a driver got updated in whatever BSD base this is running on 22.1.7.
For now, I am trying to get BSD to show me what it think the media capabilities are for the interface.
Running this command:
ifconfig ix1 media
by all accounts should show me, but instead this is what I get:
root@OPNsense:~ # ifconfig ix1 media
ifconfig: 'media' requires argument

Am I missing something here?
