 Coming across a few round tuits, I have looked at the openbsd msk(4) 
 code some, which the netbsd msk(4) driver was forked from. Both openbsd 
 and freebsd kernels recognize and fully support the NC10's Marvell NIC.
 
 I first worked from the openbsd if_msk.c HEAD, and found a lot of 
 unrelated changes (both gratuitous and not) on both sides, so I ended 
 up diffing the forked version and the version they claim supports the 
 yukon2 fe+.
 
 Unfortunately, all that changed is dhcpcd(8) started flapping the 
 interface. No byte reached the switch. Since I am not really familiar 
 with if_msk*, nor with ethernet drivers in general, this is where I'll 
 drop the ball:
 
 <https://www2.spg.tu-darmstadt.de/~hf/netbsd/kern-49270.tgz>
 
 has the diffs, the changed netbsd files, and a debug messages file.
 
 HTH,
 hauke
