DWL-AG530 Support?
Hello All, I see from http://www.openbsd.org/i386.html#hardware that the DWL-AG520 D-Link 802.11a/b/g card is supported by OpenBSD, but I'm having quite a bit of difficulty finding one that's not in the UK. It seems that the DWL-AG530 is a very similar card (perhaps the North American version?), but it's not listed as supported, and I'm loth to buy a wireless card unless it's explicitly supported. Has anyone had experience with this card, and/or does anyone know for certain whether or not it's supported? Alternately, does anyone know where I can buy a DWL-AG520 here in the States? Thanks, Alex Kirk

Thanks, Alex Kirk Hi Alex, Are you after a 802.11g card or 108Mbps card? If you are after an 802.11g card then the Edimax EW-7128G can be found in the UK at: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-miscm=113101477530208w=2 I managed to buy two from: http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?Quicklinx=3119 which were marginally cheaper and they are both working well with OpenBSD 3.8, using ral.
