That is very weird that you are having trouble. The builtin port on my
PB 3400c/240 (ethernet part of it at least, never tried playing with the
modem) has worked perfectly for me under NetBSD 1.5 and now 1.5.2 since
day 1.  I didn't have to do anything special (besides put
net_interfaces=de0 in /etc/rc.conf and make an /etc/ifconfig.de0 file...
the installer kernel had set it up as tlp0 I recall.), it Just Works...

[19:08] sio@hooper% dmesg | grep de0

de0: interrupting at irq 28

So, I dunno, but it does work on mine so please let me know if you have
any questions.
