 There is an obvious bug in the em driver regarding promiscuous multicast 
 (ALLMULTI), and I believe the following is the correct solution:

 +				    (IFF_PROMISC | IFF_ALLMULTI)) {
   					em_disable_promisc(adapter);
   					em_set_promisc(adapter);

 It fixes the problem for me on FreeBSD 7.0 and FreeBSD 6.2.
