	Upgrade a NetBSD/sparc installation from netbsd-3 to current,
	find that wlan hostap functionality is dead, try to debug

 Are you using gcc4 already?

 Good question. When exactly was the switch thrown for sparc? Why is 
 the compiler version not in /etc/release?

 /etc/release says my 3.99.21 snapshot was built on 22 Jun, 16h30 UTC. 
 'cvs update' probably around 12h00 UTC.

 Given the problems with gcc4 compiled sparc kernels, OTOH, it was 
 probably built with gcc3.

 wlanctl didn't core for me, I only included its output for information.

 Well, it did core for me, but this was with a gcc4-build userland.

 Silly me. '3.3.6' is it.

 As noted on port-sparc, a kernel from a gcc4-built snapshot didn't 
 get off the ground, so I didn't bother installing the snapshot.

 Blast from the past...

 I'll have to dig through boxes finding the hardware (nell sbus card,=20
 and the MA401 nic), and netboot the SS10 into netbsd-current...

 Give me a fortnight.

 Cheerio,
 Hauke

 I unboxed my SPARCstation 10 (which came up right away, no small feat for
 hardware half my age), a nell(4) sbus card, and a wi(4) card (Netgear
 MA401), and netbooted.

 On the upside, the PR issue is gone, and wiconfig(8) works fine.

 On the downside, the bit rot: nell(4) will not recognize any pcmcia cards
 during boot, they have to be ejected and re-inserted. And while the wi(4)
 then shows up on the air, clients fail to connect, even without a password.
 But that is beyond the scope of this PR.

 Cheerio,
 Hauke
