I tried adding miibus_load="YES" to loader.conf.local but it did not seem to make a difference. I removed miibus_load="YES" and added if_xl_load="YES" and I appear to have a workaround for the network problem. I have not performed any exaustive tests but the errors in DHCP and samba at boot time seem to have disappeared. The USB printer problem remains. But one thing at a time. :-) Thanks...
