 Are you connecting it to a normal 10M hub, or a system that does
 autonegotiation, but has the 'link advertise register' (LAR) set to only
 allow 10M HDX?
 
 Could be that the PHY isn't falling back to 'autodetection' when
 'autonegotiation' fails.
 
 Maybe netbsd ought to have a way of restricting the LAR value?
