Hi Steve,
as I understand it Masanobu is saying the ethernet driver is in -current
and netbsd-6, but not in netbsd-6-1-4.
You can get a recent build of netbsd-6 here:
http://releng.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/builds.cgi
netbsd-6 is what you are looking for, not netbsd 6-0 or netbsd-6-1, and
not netbsd-6-0-6 or netbsd-6-1-4.
At some point this netbsd-6 branch will be branched to the formal
release netbsd-6-2, which from then on will receive only security and
bug fixes. The netbsd-6 branch meanwhile will continue to receive
*updates* as well as security fixes and bug fixes, and it will be
eventually branched to netbsd-6-3.
Masanobu's reply is excerpted below:
