I tried to work with a laptop using Atheros chipset for wireless. OpenBSD dmesg shows Atheros AR5424 and another number like AR5xxx I can't remember, but I can't find this model on Qualcomm Atheros site. Windows XP shows Atheros AR5700 series. Which is what ? Maybe someone who got it right can give us a clue. Thanks
