I inherited an old  RS6000 just recently and wanted to make it a
wireless endpoint between the house and garage using PF and ISAKMPD.

If I go for a snapshot of netbsd 4, which one should I download?

Judging from the mail list archive I would pretty much have to at
minimum to compile a new kernel for pf support - but what about common
PCI wireless hardware? What about isakmpd?

I was considering a standard RAL (ralink based) wireless network
adapter - any ideas if it would be supported?

Many thanks in advance!


The machine is acting somewhat flakey for some reason but anyway I
managed to scrape up a dmesg
