NIC timeouts since upgrade to 4.0

[Frederik Sausmikat <frederik.sausmikat%gmx.de@localhost>]

Hi there,

a while ago I did a fresh install of NetBSD 4.0 and since then my 
network interfaces stopped working properly. I have two cards installed 
in my system: a D-Link DFE-530TX (vr0), which worked well with NetBSD 
3.1 and a NForce2 Network Controller (nfe0).

It seems the vr0 stopped working completely. While trying to configure 
it via dhclient (at boot) it keeps repeating "vr0: device timeout" and 
nothing more happens.

The nfe0 always prints "nfe0: watchdog timeout" twice (sometimes 
followed by "nfe0: tx v1 error 0x6001") and, after that, it seems to 
work fine (but it's annoying to wait about 20-30 seconds on every boot 
just for the network card to become ready).

I already tried to investigate this a bit. So far I have a kernel dump, 
created when the kernel entered the watchdog routine (don't know if this 
is of any use), which didn't tell me much except that the watchdog timer 
works and tried running a kernel with ACPI disabled (without success).

Does anybody have a solution for the problem or an idea where I could 
start looking?

Regards, Freddy
