It is working here on 8.0. Did you specifically mean -current?
I do remember that it didn't work on my first trial; don't know
what I did differently then, though.
Working setup:
host: 8.0-PRERELEASE/amd64
where VM is configured with
Network Adapter 1:
Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (Bridged adapter, nfe0)
with guest OS: 8.0-RC3/i386
and within the guest:
guest%ifconfig em0
em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=9b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM>
ether 08:00:27:xx:yy:zz
inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>)
status: active
I can see the dhcp packets on the wire by monitoring the nfe0 on the
host side:
host# tcpdump -i nfe0 ether host 08:00:27:xx:yy:zz
listening on nfe0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes

hope it helps.
