I confirm it works, so this firmware (athn,uvideo) is not necessary. My network card is an Atheros AR9285. I suspect it could have been my Atheros too Bluetooth Adapter.
Call me paranoid but it makes me happier! I apologize for the bad format of my last email (new webmail) and some out-of-topic comments. I think I was in evangelic mode.. Sorry. Last question. Which is the best way to disable fw_update so that when it connects to the network it doesnB4t attempt to install more firmware? Stuart suggested: # echo 127.0.0.1 firmware.openbsd.org >> /etc/hosts will this work if I have another source other than ftp.openbsd.org? ie. are the firmware updates independent from the pkg source? I'd like to round up with a request to make firmware installation optional in the installer (amd64 cd) if there are any chances that the OS will work without it. Some question like: "Would you like to install X (your Z hardware might not be operative without it)". This would me happier too.
