Good to hear!

This was just fixed; the mail archive is now running off of the main
NetBSD www server.

I've looked at that post, and I will try to figure out how to make the
code automatically use the right values when it finds a Cabletron card.

Hmmm. There should be a few around. There's a Perl program in pkgsrc that
strips a kernel config file down to only the hardware that appears in
dmesg, and small edits like the one mentioned in the post at the link
above can be done with any editor. Just get a source tree (sup is pretty
easy to set up for NetBSD 1.5; 1.6 comes with cvs...), trim down a kernel
config file, and start compiling. Compiling is a good way to test your
hardware and memory - if your machine compiles and finishes for 20 or more
hours straight, it's pretty safe to say that the hardware is in good
order.
