Yeah, see my second comment.  :-)

It's one of those, and it isn't the chips65550, 'cause that's your video.

Like I said, to my knowledge, it works with MkLinux, whose tulip driver
was ripped straight out of NetBSD apart from some tiny one-line patches
and I think massive changes to the probe/attach routines, so if it doesn't
work under NetBSD, it's probably some trivial issue with probing/attaching
and/or Open Firmware not enabling the device's I/O and config space or
similar.
