I can only confirm your problems, my Compaq-P75 with onboard PCnet-PCI
has reported
 Mar  7 00:05:23 dirty /netbsd: le0: framing error
 Mar  7 00:05:23 dirty /netbsd: le0: crc mismatch
 Mar  7 00:05:24 dirty /netbsd: le0: framing error
 Mar  7 00:05:24 dirty /netbsd: le0: crc mismatch

Also it seems to give le0-carrier dropped message when moved a bit when 
running.

Only problem that I had so far, that might be related is: If I write to disc 
that is nq-nfs mounted from that machine with NetBSD-1.1-i486/25-3c509 machine 
the ahc-SCSI controller can die with more than 256dma segs message.

The mount works ok to NetBSD-sparc and various other machines.
