I think it's mentioned in the right places already. The pre-install checklist is right above the installer download link. https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html#Checklist # Pre-installation Checklist: [...] If wireless internet is your only option, does your card require additional firmware? If so, you'll need to manually download it to a USB drive or similar device, then use the fw_update(1) tool to enable it after OpenBSD is installed. https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#Wireless # Wireless Networking [...] "Firmware files acquired with fw_update(1) may be needed in order to use certain wireless cards. Some manufacturers refuse to allow free distribution of their firmware, so it can't be included with OpenBSD." So, this is a RTFM kind of situation I believe. Best regards, Stefan
