This is very similar to what I am experiencing here. I reported this
behaviour of my system after rebuilding and updating to NetBSD-970305
see the archive for my previous mail from a few days ago.

Either my mail didn't make it to this mailing list or nobody is
interested in the de0 device :)

I am using a SMC EtherPower card which has a 21041 on it. It 
use to work fine before upgrading to NetBSD-current. I since
re-installed NetBSD-release...
