i82573E wm(4) trouble

Hello,

I've installed this days NetBSD 3.1 using the ISO image.
Unfortunately
there was no driver for my Gigabit (10/100/1000 Mbits/sec)
LAN
subsystem using the Intel(r) 82573E/82573V/82574V Gigabit
Ethernet
Controller, so I got the latest sources for the system and
rebuilt the
kernel. Now it loks like the adapter is found and the driver
is
loaded. The configuration file, /etc/ifconfig.wm0 contains
the
following:

up
inet 89.34.248.77/24

but I cannot ping enything else but localhost and
89.34.248.77, even
my gateway 89.34.248.1. "ping -n 89.34.248.1" says
that host is down.
At the hardware level is everythig OK, I got Windows XP and
FreeBSD
working fine with this NIC. What should I check?

I'm fairly certain NetBSD does not.  See kern/35386, which
(among
others) mentions the 82573E and 82573L.

Indeed this is the adapter that I have, and I must always
set the
media type by hand. I have even had panics induced by media
autodetection (twice, I think, and not at all recently).
