There is *nothing* wrong with the port, as the port involved changing
the number and type of config file and fixing a bug in the driver which
was later fixed in NetBSD.
[ I did the port ]

In addition, NetBSD folks have also complained about the 'fall-off' the
network bug I reported to you months ago, but was ignored (including
the fix)

Just because you aren't seeing it on your hardware doesn't mean a bug
doesn't exist.
