yeah it works, and is how I can email you now :)

posted some stats about my machine here, you probably received it
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-net/2011/01/16/msg002412.html

I knew it was working when I saw if_alc0.c compiling while compiling the kernel

then when dmesg showed alc0 was the next success

I think it showed up under "infconfig -a" after that.

then when I set up my gateway and nameservers, which I still have to
do manually,
was when it worked.
