Hauke,

I tried your kernel and found two things:
1. I was still getting the following errors. I'm going to be watching to see
if they are more or less, in frequency. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THESE ARE
SAYING?

2. Your kernel did not like my Farallon NuBus Etherpeek card.
Your kernel:
Mar 13 10:24:11 bsdserver /netbsd: nubus0 at mainbus0
Mar 13 10:24:11 bsdserver /netbsd: nubus0 slot e: Farallon EtherMac II-TP
(Vendor: Farallon, Part: PN 590a-TP) Type: 0004 0001 010c 0100 not
configured

Pre1.6 32 kernel:
nubus0 at mainbus0
ae0 at nubus0 slot e: Farallon EtherMac II-TP, 32KB memory
ae0: Ethernet address 00:00:c5:41:33:0f

This is bad, because it makes my router break. I did a MAKEDEV just in case,
and still no go. Any ideas?



And as an aside, just when I was getting frustrated, you send me this, you
rock.

Thanks Hauke!
