Some progress here.... since continued unexpected errors, I switched
to VMware Player.

It would seem the problem now (and before?) is:

Dec 19 05:29:24 atom dhcpcd[1267]: wm0: wm0: MTU set to 576

Here's some more logs...

Dec 19 05:13:10 atom syslogd[381]: last message repeated 19 times
Dec 19 05:13:10 atom /netbsd: wm0: discarding oversize frame (len=599)
Dec 19 05:13:13 atom /netbsd: wm0: discarding oversize frame (len=1434)
Dec 19 05:13:44 atom /netbsd: wm0: discarding oversize frame (len=1434)
Dec 19 05:15:45 atom /netbsd: wm0: discarding oversize frame (len=1434)
Dec 19 05:25:59 atom syslogd[381]: last message repeated 346 times
Dec 19 13:29:24 atom dhcpcd[295]: wm0: failed to renew, attempting to rebind
Dec 19 13:29:24 atom dhcpcd[295]: wm0: acknowledged x.y.115.116 from
173.36.131.33
Dec 19 13:29:24 atom dhcpcd[295]: wm0: leased x.y.115.116 for 257850 seconds
Dec 19 05:29:24 atom dhcpcd[1267]: wm0: wm0: MTU set to 576

that dhcp server won't change... all the tcp resets make the network
pretty useless...

Anyone got a workaround?
