Thanks for that.  And especially the patches.

I used your patches to try get my own build to complete.
I found this problem, with sources sync'ed yesterday, trying
to get a release to build:

I tried using the installation kernel in your snapshot
to install on a MobilePro 780.  It works with the network
card I'm using a bit better than the snapshot at www.netbsd.org.
But, I'm still seeing the "remote transmit DMA failed to complete"
messages and the card hangs while fetching the base set.

So, no install for me.  Can anybody recommend a PCMCIA card for an MP-780?
