Re: Nintendo Wii WLAN support (was Re: Nintendo WII: is wifi supported?)

Thank you so much Jared!

After reading the notes to update the kernel
(https://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-kernel.html), I am unable
to find the kernel at /netbsd . How should I replace the kernel in
evbpcc's NetBSD?

Thanks again.
