Supported hardware: miniPCIe WiFi adapter

2012-02-02 Thread Markus Schatzl
Hi, this one is just for the record, as I had a hard time finding a suitable miniPCIe WiFi adapter for a Soekris 6501 (that's easily available in DE). The Ubiquity SR71-E works surprisingly well in -current, I'm tempted to outright recommend it (amongst others because of its high range).

Hi, when stumbling over a SD CSD version 3 card error yesterday, I spotted that NetBSD already extended the sdmmc driver for recognizing information in the cards extended CSD field. Are there any objections to re-integrate this new code into OpenBSD? Cheers, /Markus

Hi, I recently bought a SSD disk to pimp ye ol X40 notebook. The device is a Mach Xtreme Technology Nano 44Pin Series 1,8 Zoll PATA SSD - 60G (see dmesg below). Currently, it looks as if my expectations towards gain in snappiness, power consumption and quietness are met. After roaming a number

Hi, working on setting up some crypto tokens, I noticed some differences to Free/NetBSD on handling the ugen devices. If a device is attached, the kernel reports it as ugenX, as it does it also on the other BSDs. Though /dev/ugenX itself doesn't exist on OpenBSD, so it can't be talked to.
