I use smartos and fusion together frequently. The main issue with networking here is that you have to allow VMware to put the NIC in promiscuous mode. There is a separate dialog that comes up each time I start the vm. If you aren't seeing that then perhaps you denied such access and memorized the answer. (The reason this is required is that smartos wants to use multiple MAC addresses and the emulated NIC does not support multiple unicast addresses. So instead promiscuous mode and software filtering are used.)

This is what I see using Fusion and El Capitan (and I saw the same under Yosemite).

Note that I am using cable ethernet, not wireless ethernet (I have wireless switched off on this particular system, a Mac mini which is also running OS X Server).

The dialog which comes up when you start the SmartOS VM under Fusion is this:

    A virtual machine is attempting to monitor all
    network traffic, which requires administrator
    access. Type an administrator's name and
    password to allow this.

    Username:
    Password:

Note that if you perform a reboot of the SmartOS VM, the authorization from the first dialog *usually* persists, but not always. I haven't seen a second authorization request as part of a reboot for some time but don't know whether it's a workload thing or some update to OS X itself or Fusion.
