Just some more data on this problem. I have tried NetBSD-1.4.3_ALPHA
also on these machines and see similar behaviour (although no panics
sofar) but throughput is close to zero, most of the time about 8KBs.
NetBSD-1.4.2 does *not* have this problem.

Looking at dmesg output, both NetbSD-1.4.2 and 1.5 attach the pcimcia
ep card at I/O port 0x400. This seems incorrect to me. NetBSD-1.4.2 
places it correctly at port 0x330. I hope this narrows the problem
area down a bit. Any ideas? Things I should test or try?
