The problem from what I can tell has more to do with netbsd wanting the first 
interface found to be the primary interface. As of yet, I have not found any 
way to manually configure the choice of the primary interface.

As for the 3c905, I think it has more to do with that when the its config'd 
into the kernel, it becomes the first interface.

The current list is this:
$ ifconfig -l
ep0 ne0 ne1 lo0
