I disabled this option but it didn't change anything.

After that I installed NetBSD-CURRENT (as of March 13, as far as I 
remember) on a spare partition and the nfe worked. The vr still had the 
same problems and only worked with ACPI disabled.

After looking into the if_nfe.c diff between 4.0 and CURRENT the only 
relevant change seems to be in the media select code.
So I added a 'media 100baseTX' to my ifconfig.nfe0 and the card works 
fine now.

I can live with this solution since I need only one NIC, but if somebody 
is still interested in solving this, I'll be happy providing more 
information.

Thanks for your efforts and kind regards,
Freddy
