I've tried openbsd and it has the same problem, although I didn't try to
force it with a kernel parameter. I might try it again later.

You've got me there :)

When on the switch:

mec0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        address: 08:00:69:0e:bd:18
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex)
        status: active
        inet 192.168.48.139 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.48.255
inet6 fe80::a00:69ff:fe0e:bd18%mec0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1

The box is on another location, so I can't put it on the hub but in a few
days...

Haven't tried tl(4) yet... But it forgot to mention that the natting
machine only has one nic, so it has local and public address are on the
same card. I guess NetBSD complains when it sees multiple subnets on one
card...
