12.0 RC3 fails to use em0.

So... if I choose live CD and type "ifconfig em0 up" followed by "dhclient
em0" ... everything works... but if I go through the install, select
something that isn't on the media and continue, selecting em0 as my
network, and ipv4->DHCP ... I see "sendmeg on em0: No buffer space
available" ...

If I don't choose anything off-media, but still choose ipv4->DHCP->em0
later, It fails inconsequentially, and on reboot it still says "sendmsg on
em0: No buffer space available" ... but then it succeeds later after
loading uhid.ko (just giving that for ordering... uhid.ko isn't loaded for
the livecd, I don't believe).

The machine is and HP Compaq 8100 Elite with an i5 660 and 4G RAM.
The em0 is on the motherboard and probes as:

em0: <Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection> port 0x3100-0x311f mem
