Subject: NuBus status on Q840av?

Hi, it's been a while since I followed the news on NetBSD/mac68k. I read
that recently an alpha kernel was released to support the MACE ethernet on
those machines.
When I last followed this newsgroup, there was a problem with (video?)
interrupts that stopped the Q840 from being able to talk to Asante NuBus
ethernet cards properly. The alpha kernel recognizes the MACE MAC address,
and prints out the Asante NIC's MAC address, but I am unable to test the
Asante NuBus card support on the 840 because I haven't downloaded the 1.2.1
or alpha 1.3 NetBSD tars yet.
I'd love to use my (underused) Q840av as a firewall gateway with TIS's
Firewall Toolkit, complete with 2 Ethernet cards :)
TIA,
