I installed a new kernel from this URL
/home/manu $ uname -v
NetBSD 5.1_STABLE (GENERIC) #0: Mon Aug  8 22:39:17 UTC 2011  
builds%b7.netbsd.org@localhost:/home/builds/ab/netbsd-5/i386/201108081840Z-obj/home/builds/ab/netbsd-5/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC

now the driver properly reads the mac address but I get some device 
timeout while getting an IP address with dhcp.
It does work in the end though.

disabling or enabling acpi via userconf does not make anydifference 
concerning the timeout
