I can compare OpenBSD to dev versions of OpenSolaris, DragonflyBSD,
NetBSD or some stable Linux distro and I must say that OpenBSD is more
stable and useful in its current version then any other OS in its
stable version. Read this http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#Flavors

a single term).

OpenBSD-STABLE with fluxbox on my work desktop. I have a laptop with a
busted LCD and keyboard, so I use it as a WinXP slave via rdesktop for

We use Hudson to manage builds.
It uses Java.
It looks like there's nothing viable here for OpenBSD other than x86 and

I already have OpenBSD/x86 working.
I have Linux/ppc, maybe Linux/sparc working.

BCM4312 *rev 1* should work with bwi(4), the output from "lspci" does
indeed confirm that.. but you'll need to post *OpenBSD* dmesg output
here so we have a chance of figuring thin

Hi everybody.
I've been searching a lot about the BCM4312 support under OpenBSD, but
sadly, I haven't found any information. The bwi driver is supposed to
work with bcm43xx devices, but looking at dmesg output I see that the
kernel identifies wich device I'm using but doesn't load the driver.
