Interestingly, I have had similar problems when enabling SMP support on
NetBSD/SPARC.   I am not sure why, but SMP support seems to cause problems
for certain NIC's.  Maybe the NIC driver is not SMP-aware?  This is pure
speculation on my part.  But this is what caused me to give up on
installing  NetBSD-SPARC....  the built-in  le0 interface stopped
functioning after I enabled SMP support.  Consequently I went back to
running Solaris on my Dual-processor SparcStation 10.  Maybe there is an
easy answer to this, but at the time I couldn't find one.

I realize that my remarks may be off topic since my experiences happened
with NetBSD instead of FreeBSD, but it seems that all the BSD's are still
going through growing pains with their SMP support.
