Oh wait, sorry, I should have looked harder, http://ralink.rapla.net/ says that this device is a Ralink! Ralink (aka ral(4)) are a great tawainese company that is open source friendly. The drivers for them, except for periodic reports of kernal panics, are the best in OpenBSD. -Nick _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
