I'm confused... Does this mean that the 1.2.1 distribution is not "current"?
In the IPNAT documentation, the author mentioned that loadable module
capabilities are built into NetBSD current, does that include 1.2.1?
Does that mean if I wish to use IPNAT with 1.2.1, I need to recompile a
kernel; and if I use -current, I don't?
Thanks in advance.
