Picking up this thread now that things calm down during the summer.

Well, I got the 5.99.11 kernel booting on one box now. Although there  
is still trouble with the ath0 wifi driver.
(Referring to this old thread: 
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-evbmips/2008/01/23/msg000011.html)

However, the HAL status is now Unknown instead of Atheros 2315 WiSoC.
