>Environment:
NETBSD 6.0_BETA NETBSD 6.0_BETA (GENERIC) amd64
>Description:
Installed NETBSD 6.0_BETA in the qemu virtual machine with -no-kvm option. Host 
OS: Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid. dhclient re0 connects to the internet and after a few 
seconds later, series of "re0: watchdog timeout" message echoed on the screen 
and the connection fails.

This has been reported here also 
(http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-bugs/2009/07/07/msg012249.html) but seems 
still unresolved since the v5.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install NETBSD 6.0_BETA in a qvm vm with -no-kvm option. And do 'dhclient re0' 
to get the DHCP address, it fetches the IP and in a short while the screen gets 
printed with series of 're0: watchdog timeout' for an unlimited time, breaking 
the connection.
>Fix:
I have not tried but someone stated that it works with other virualized 
ethernet adaptors, but did not specify exactly which alternative one works?
