Correct.  The Intel Access Library for IXP425 is not in the source tree.

Nope, you're exactly right.

Wasabi has NetBSD ports to several IXP425-based boards that support the

The Intel Access Library for IXP425 requires a license from Intel, and 
thus cannot be contributed to the public NetBSD sources.
