 I have the same, exact problem with FreeBSD-Current running on VMWare 
 Fusion (64-bit, 2 virtual procs, 4096MB Memory allocation, Mac Pro 
 host).  Running 7.2 on this same configuration there is no problem with 
 the e1000 (if_em) driver.  Upgrading to -current I get the following 
 error (in dmesg):
 
     em0: Invalid MAC address
     device_attach:em0 attach returned 5
 
 My work around is to edit the "vmx" config file on the host for the 
 virtual image and change:
 
     ethernet0.virtualDev="e1000"
 
 to:
 
     ethernet0.virtualDev="vlance"
 
 so the virtual machine emulates an AMD Lance instead.
