Ok, so I bought a "New Internet Computer" for $200 to run NetBSD on.

The current revision has a SIS 900 ethernet controller.  The 'sip' driver
is reporting a "master abort" when I ifconfig it.  I have another
motherboard (from Amptron) with an SIS 900 that works fine.  So it appears
to be either the chip revision or something with the motherboard chipset
that is causing it.

I'm just curious if anyone else has a "NIC" and has the same problem or
not.  I'm using 1.5_ALPHA right now, and haven't tested the very latest
changes for 'if_sip.c' that added a couple of delays.  I will hopefully
test that tonight or tomorrow.
