I'm forwarding this message that I originally sent to netbsd-users.
I'm not certain if that was the right list (or if this one is). If I'm
posting this to the wrong list, pointers to the appropriate list would
be appreciated.
Anyway, I just wanted to share my BETA2 findings and see if anyone else
is seeing anything similar, if theses are known issues or if I need to
start filing PRs.

I just ran into 1.5.1_BETA2. Overall things went well, however I did
run into a few problems. I wanted to point them out and see if they're
known issues.
On my desktop system everything worked fine (the VIA686b changes even
supported ATA100!), with the following exceptions:
1. Sound; auvia0 is found, but not audio0.
2. Network; sip0 (Netgear FA311 Rev-A1/DB83815) is totally messed up.
It's very strange. No matter what I do, the card just doesn't seem to
work. The strange part is that if I try to configure the NIC via DHCP
instead of by hand, it successfully grabs an addresses, configures the
NIC and then just does nothing (just like when I configured the NIC by
hand). Either way, the end result is the same, I can ping the NIC, but
nothing beyond it. 8(
I also tried installing on my VAIO F270. Everything installed fine
with one notable exception:
1. Network; ex0 doesn't work. It comes up with an ether address of
69:00:69:00:69:00.
Has anyone else seen any issues like this? Do these issues exist under
-current?
Thanks in advance...
