Brent Dunn and you seem to be having one thing in common:
Realtek-based network cards. Despite the fact that those cards are,
well, let's just say a little bit cheap, it could be some change in
FreeBSD's rl driver that causes this problem. The MAC spoofing stuff
in m0n0wall hasn't changed at all lately. The only difference between
1.2b8 and older 4.x-based versions (as far as the rl driver is
concerned) is that polling support is now compiled in, but that
shouldn't make a difference as long as it's disabled (by default).

Try another brand of NIC if you can (I'd very much recommend this
anyway).
