Thanks a lot for testing to both of you!
I don't see link bouncing with ERI and GEM either, though like
Peter said it might be the culprit of the PHY or it's driver;
brgphy(4) isn't exactly in a good shape and unlike FreeBSD the
NetBSD one has DSP fixup code for the BCM5754/5 which might be
relevant also.
