Wahoo!

My sparcbook is up and running with XF86 at 24bits, and wireless (PRISM
II card)!

I'm running an older kernel you put up a few months back:

NetBSD tadpole 3.99.10 NetBSD 3.99.10 (MORGOTH) #52: Fri Nov  4 09:41:39 EST 2005  ml@Inishowen:/stuff/build/obj_sparc/sys/arch/sparc/compile/MORGOTH sparc

Seems to work fine and is pretty dang zippy.
