"bad" in the sense of "inexplicably different" I can believe, but "bad"
in the sense of "broken, will never work", I don't think is correct, I
have one of these working just fine under FreeBSD (which coped without
even a second glance).

No, here we just fix it ourselves.
I am plodding through a comparison of what FreeBSD is doing, and how,
and what NetBSD is doing, and attempting to squash all of the differences
(of substance, not form). So far, nothing I have done has changed anything,
but eventually I'm confident that the magic ingredient will become
clear...
