Ah, yeah, I only have one NIC in that machine. I found your PR
(port-alpha/30560), and it made it sound like you get errors simply by
having an fxp in the system ("How-To-Repeat: Install any 2.x release
of NetBSD on an Alpha with fxp (i82557) ethernet interface(s)
configured.")

FWIW,

yerfable ~> netstat -bIfxp0 | head -2
Name  Mtu   Network       Address               Ibytes     Obytes
fxp0  1500  <Link>        00:a0:c9:13:61:7e 7872415366 16721268625
yerfable ~> uptime
 1:14PM  up 32 days, 21:12, 7 users, load averages: 0.52, 0.51, 0.33

Which works out to an average of 5885 bytes/sec out and 2771 bytes/sec
in. I tried running ttcp between the alpha and another machine, and
didn't get any errors in that case either.
