>Environment:
	NetBSD is no longer running on the machine, however if this
	information is absolutely necissary to have, I can reinstall
	and check.
>Description:
	mc0 does not receive ~50% of all packates when using either
	AUI or 10BaseT ethernet. The device works in the installer
	and NetBSD 1.6, however it fails to function properly when
	booted from the installed system.

	The same problem is described here:
	http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-macppc/2004/10/11/0004.html

	I used 1.6 based on the experience of the user in the
	aformentioned email, however I gave up on NetBSD due to
	IPv4 vs. IPv6 issues preventing pkg_add to work. I do not
	know if any later versions (other than 2.0.2, which had
	the same mc0 problem) work.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Install NetBSD 1.6 or later and use the built in ethernet device.

 "How to repeat" should read "Install NetBSD 2.0 or later and use the
 built in ethernet device," not "Install NetBSD 1.6 or later and use
 the built in ethernet device."
