Nothing's changed since I last used my miggy, then...

Ahh - these guys look like they might well be able to
help out; what is their reputation like?  (ie. do they
deliver what you ask for, and will they actually tell you
if something is out of stock/unavailable?  Normal practice
in Amigaland used to be to take your money then just bugger
off.)


They (apparently) stock the "X-Surf" ethernet card, which is
seemingly supported by NetBSD-current.  Does anyone know
if this support is reliable, and if either the 1.4P or
1.4.2alpha snapshots include the support?  It would make my
life a whole lot easier if I could net-install NetBSD!

(Alternatively, does anyone know how hard it is to set up
 a cross-compile environment to build the Amiga (kernel)
 on an i386-current system?)

Thanks a lot for your help!
Tim.

(PS. apologies for my first mail having a knackered reply-to
 address, I'd forgotten to change it on that account :-).
