  This problem is not a NetBSD's bug but Qemu's bug. NetBSD 6.0 which
 will be released in this month has the workaround for this bug.

 	http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/pci/if_wm.c.diff?r1=1.229&r2=1.231&f=h

  And, I sent a pullup request to netbsd-5 to solve this problem.
 If we will release NetBSD 5.2, the patch should be included.

  Thanks.
