I'm glad you got it running!

The MAC address looks correct and the link-negotiation also worked.

Is it a Marvell 88E8001? What does the kernel print? There should
be something like this (from my DS-101g+):

skc0 at pci0 dev 15 function 0: irq 18
skc0: interrupt moderation is 0 us
skc0: Marvell Yukon Lite Gigabit Ethernet rev. (0x9)
sk0 at skc0 port A: Ethernet address 00:11:32:00:xx:xx

The chip didn't receive a single ethernet frame. I have seen that before.

No idea what the reason might be. I'm also using a 100Mbps switch, and
the closest model I have for comparison is a CS-407e (also from 2007),
which shows no problem here.

This is especially strange because it worked from PPCBoot before,
so the chip was already correctly initialized. And when the NetBSD
kernel booted the NIC works again?
