Default Marvell 88E8038 ethernet adaptor doesn't work with NetBSD 5, even with ACPI disabled

I ran into an annoying situation with NetBSD 5 (installed via Jibbed):

My Marvell 88E8038 appears as msk0. However, running dhcpcd on it always times out, and I can't seem to get a connection at all. No unusual messages appear in dmesg... Anyone know what this is? With ACPI disabled, this card used to work...

(FWIW: with ACPI disabled, the ethernet controller doesn't appear at all. This is due to limitations in my laptop's BIOS; there's nothing I can do about it, except maybe get APM working.)
