I tested it on my SPARCbook 3TX (which is basically a 3GX with
faster CPU and capability for more RAM) with a D-Link DWL-650 with
Prism 2.5 chipset. An identical card works fine with NetBSD/hpcmips
and NetBSD/i386. It is detected but doesn't attach completely, see
the log:

Seems that the dbri attaches properly, I couldn't find it doing
anything nasty.

I did not boot multiuser on my 2.0.2 userland.

Looks very promising so far, thanks a lot. Time to go -current on
my Tadpole, soon, I guess.
