The FreeBSD driver also lacks some platform-independence features  
that are important to NetBSD.  There is little chance that the  
FreeBSD "em" driver will be brought into NetBSD.  The best thing to  
do is to identify and fix the bugs in the NetBSD "wm" driver.

Why don't you try enabling debugging in the wm driver to see what  
state the driver thinks things are in when it fails?  What exactly is  
the mode of failure?  Have you filed a bug report with send-pr?
