If you don't use it, remove it as it will cause problems. However, you
seem to have a weirder problem on your BSD box as your NIC is using ARP's
broadcast address as it's MAC address (?!?)

Having never seen this before, are both NICs on your LAN set for and
running at full-duplex? Does "dmesg" make a difference if you stop your
"tcpdump", as I think that's why the NIC is showing in promiscous mode.
