From reading the messages, it appears the ethernet vendor code for your
network card is needed so NetBSD can attach the driver.

If you don't want to provide the entire ethernet hardware address, then
provide the ethernet vendor code. It is the first six hexadecimal digits
of your MAC.

For example, see  http://www.iana.org/assignments/ethernet-numbers
