I might switch my amd64 laptop to netbsd too depending on how I like
it on the server. So far I like it a lot. Just a question, has anyone
have a broadcom wireless working? I know on linux they don't provide
any drivers so I have to use a ndis wrapper.

# dmesg|grep -i key
wskbd0 at pckbd0: console keyboard, using wsdisplay0
 and TERM is xterm when I ssh in and vt100 on the computer. Same
behaviour on both so I don't think that is the problem. About the vi
keys, they work and it's exactly the same thing people on the IRC
channel suggested :P But I would still like to get home and end
buttons working because I am quite used to them when using shell.

I also checked the stty man page and don't understand most of the
things. What should I be looking for?
