I have an old Macbook2,1 (dmesg below) that I've slapped OpenBSD on for purposes of just having something to check my email from. Its wireless card is picked up during the install as athn(4), the firmware was installed on first boot, and /etc/hostname.athn0 is configured with my local wireless network's details. But when I boot the laptop, all I get is "athn0......no link" Though msk(4) of course works fine, so I used a wired connection to update to -stable, to see if that would fix things; it didn't.
I searched the archives for every combination of macbook, athn, and wireless I could think of, but I didn't see anything directly related (mostly I came up with stuff about weirdness with the intel driver under X, which I also see on this Macbook but don't care about since a console is sufficient to run Emacs and check my email). Am I doing something wrong? Should I upgrade to a snapshot? Any advice welcome--I'd like for this laptop not to be tethered to a cable. Here's the dmesg: OpenBSD 5.2-stable (GENERIC.MP) #0: Sat Apr 13 13:16:10 CDT 2013 car...@peregrine.my.domain:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC.MP real mem = 2113896448 (2015MB) avail mem = 2035314688 (1941MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: SMBIOS rev. 2.4 @ 0xe0000 (37 entries) bios0: vendor Apple Inc. version "MB21.88Z.00A5.B07.0706270922" date 06/27/07 bios0: Apple Inc.
