After installing NetBSD 0.9 and recompiling the kernel with the "GATEWAY"
option, the new kernel seems to still not pass packets from my slip
connection to the ether device.  Both devices work. I can speak to boxes
on my slip and ether nets. It just isn't passing the packets.  I am also
pretty damn sure that the routing is setup properly.  I have set up a
number of these boxes to do the same thing but on previous installations I
used NetBSD 0.8.  Is forwarding broken?
