With 3.7 released, I figured this would be a great time to add wifi
ability to my firewall. Being a good boy, I checked the HCL at
http://www.openbsd.org/i386.html to see which cards I should look for at
my local retailers. Several were in stock, so I grabbed one and
installed, only to find that it wouldn't boot. Grumble, look at the
box, and see nothing amiss. Head back to store, swap for another card,
only to have the same story repeated. At this point, I'm beginning to
suspect something wrong with my system, but I have no clue what. The
only lead I have is that some of the cards I didn't pick were marked
"PCI 2.2 slot", and my system is PCI 2.1. The boxes I did try didn't
have a PCI rev listed. So I suppose the best question to ask is, has
anyone encountered a 2.1 friendly card, or am I up a creek?
