I don't have or get a resolv.conf
I downloaded another install.img, md5 checked it, reinstalled, wrote all the files again, rebooted, & it still won't pick up any leases.
Thanks for your time trying to help, shep - but I'm going to assign NetBSD to the bit bucket, & just go back to AntiX & OpenBSD.
Someone on the NetBSD team needs to get wifi sorted out & working properly, & create a usable documentation for it.
