Installed NetBSD 5.0.2 from ftp.netbsd.org.
I installed this on a Dell Precision T3500.
It does not recognize the Broadcom 5761 builtin
(0x14E4 0x1681).  Is there a driver for this
card available on 5.0.2?
No. Support was added to current in January, but I don't think it was
pulled up to netbsd-5.
AH!!! KEWL!!  Is there a fairly recent stable branch/tag in current?
Or is top of the tree it???  Should I be asking such things in another list??

Thanks,

Just FYI, support for this chip was pulled into the netbsd-5 branch just post 5.1 (it'll be in 5.2, if/when it happens). If you wanted to try something closer to a release, you could also try a snapshot of 5.1_STABLE, which has the change. Look at http://releng.netbsd.org/, the "Daily binary snapshots" for a recent one on the netbsd-5 branch.

(Like this one http://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-5/201011240000Z/ - though this _particular_ link will only last a couple weeks)
