To summarize: For best hostap experience use a supported athn(4)
device on PCI. That's what I use at home and it just works.
Avoid USB for hostap if at all possible.
Thank you very much for the answer.
There is the usual problem that many of the devices listed are not
available
How about taking some directory that is currently under /var (depending
on what you're doing with the machine, maybe log or www or mysql or
something?) and moving the contents to /usr/obj or /usr/src (or if
they're together on disk, remove /usr/obj and /usr/src and create a
new partition covering
So, Stuart's comment is still valid. I will stop looking for a USB
solution, and instead see if I can find a low power chassis with a PCI
slot. While more expensive, it is probably money well invested.
It might be worth buying/reusing a standalone access point (perhaps
reflashing a linksys

First of all, you have a machine that is running a very old version of
OpenBSD. You have a lot of upgrades to do, and since you have other
issues (partitioning), you probably just want to reinstall and start
over using your current knowledge of your disk layout needs.
Well that's kind
You could also make a raw image of the disk and run a copy of that image
in qemu on another computer, something which would give you a chance to
do some experimenting with growfs(8) friends without having to risk
anything.
Oh, now that's a really good idea actually, I never thought of that.

Yes, sudo has moved to ports. The new doas(1)
- nuke usr/X11R6,
That will end up with five partitions: /, /tmp, /home, /usr, and /var
Also, this machine doesn't have X, FWIW.

there is no easy way to shrink or move filesystems, only copying their
contents. depending on where /var is, your ability to grow it may be limited.
Disklabel puts /var as the third partition. I wasn't really expecting to
be able to grow it directly. I think what I'd like to do is

Either use dump or mount each drive you need to keep and tar it to an
external disk
Re-install the same version with the layout you want
Untar and reboot; done
