NetBSD host89.virtualempire.com 2.0 NetBSD 2.0 (GENERIC) #0: Wed Dec  1 10:58:25 UTC 2004  builds@build:/big/builds/ab/netbsd-2-0-RELEASE/i386/200411300000Z-obj/big/builds/ab/netbsd-2-0-RELEASE/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386
>Description:
Netbsd will see the nic on the main board and it will work for a short while between 1 and 3 days depending on load.   AFter that the card will not transmit any packets.  performing a ifconfig vr0 down and up will reset the card.

here is the dmesg

vr0 at pci0 dev 18 function 0: VIA VT6102 (Rhine II) 10/100 Ethernet
vr0: interrupting at irq 5
vr0: Ethernet address: 00:11:d8:64:06:b4
ukphy1 at vr0 phy 1: Generic IEEE 802.3u media interface
ukphy1: OUI 0x000004, model 0x0020, rev. 1
ukphy1: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto

I have tested board with netbsd 1.6.2 and netbsd 2.0 and they both fail.

>How-To-Repeat:
Put a load on the nic on a a7v8x-x and vr0 driver.
