Should I be able to use a mini-pci wireless card in my Net 4501? I've been running OpenBSD on a Net 4501 for 5-6 years now, wired-only. I finally decided to get a wifi card so that I could use it as an AP as well. I purchased a Wistron CM9 from Netgate and the card just does not want to work. At first I thought it might be insufficient power--I've been using the little power supply I purchased with the Net 4501 (12V 1.2A). I've tried a number of other power sources all the way up to 12V 2.5A with no luck.
I keep seeing nic_wakeup and channel reset errors. Ultimately, the Net 4501 always hangs. I also ripped out a pgt wireless mini-pci card from an old SMC Barricade router and get similar errors. Does anyone use mini-pci wireless cards in Net 4501s? If not, that's fine, but how can I know for sure what Soekris boards _will_ let me use one? I just assumed that it would work and I now think my assumption was wrong.
