NetBSD/hpcmips was fixed in -head & the changes were pulled up into the
netbsd-6 & 7 stable branches. Then -head was promptly broken again.
If you don't need to run NetBSD-HEAD, any of the current stable
snapshots should work on a WorkPad.
For NetBSD-HEAD, I sent my device away so the issue could be looked into
closely, trying to do remote hands proved to be ineffective. There is
progress being made and hopefully soon there should be would snapshots
of -HEAD as well.

This is hit & miss. I have a 10Mbps ne(4) card which works without issue
(sustaining a whopping 300kbps when doing network installs) but a
100Mbps ne(4) card causes the system to become unresponsive whilst it's
connected & the interface is up. YMMV :)
