The images have dhcpcd enabled in /etc/rc.conf. Try using as root:

# dhcpcd awge0

If dhcpcd is already running it will send the command to it. If
not try manual configuration.

Are you using the correct cable? Are you connecting this board to
another computer or to a router (straight vs crossover cable)?.
This device is gigabit. I had problems before with cheap cables,
and altought I can configure for example the rpi4's ethernet in linux
with ethtool and make it work at 100mbps, in netbsd mediaopt
100baseTX will make the device work with this cable (cat-v) but
with crc errors (useless in the end).

Are you using ipv6? Have you enabled npf? Can you ping the gateway
and this is just a dns problem? How about posting the output of
ifconfig awge0, /etc/rc.d/dhcpcd restart, etc...
