Re: Can't install NETBSD 5.99.61 on D-Link DSM-G600

[Charles Brown <obigiankenobi%gmail.com@localhost>]

I'm absolutely new to NetBSD, and was not clear for me that dsm-g600
will be supported in the 6.0 release.
Hope that this new release will be... released soon!!! :)
I have tryed the 5.99.62, with same result of the previous:

When we have a more stable release, I would try to upgrade the wlan
card to one with wireless N.
I wonder if someone have tryed this...
Thx Frank, and Bye
