Hi, On both a Raspberry Pi 4 and a Pi 400, I've noticed that genet0 ethernet doesn't work a good fraction of the time after boot. This happened infrequently in the past, with older UEFI and older versions of NetBSD 11. I've recently updated to the latest UEFI version 1.52 and NetBSD 11.0_RC6, and the problem seems to still happen on the Pi 4 and now it happens very often on the Pi 400. When this happens, genet0 is configured, and tcpdump shows packets coming in, but nothing goes out. Occasionally, the network interface can communicate with certain hosts, but not others, as if MAC filtering works selectively, or something like that. Has anyone else experienced this yet? If someone who knows how to diagnose would like serial console access to the Pi 4 to see what's up when this is happening, please reach out. Thanks! John
