Hey folks, I've never been lucky enough to actually own my own laptop until yesterday, when a friend pointed me at a special at Staples. I picked up a Compaq Presario V2405US (AMD Sempron) for a pretty good price. Yes, I know, Compaq and Staples, fear. But for $500, I can cope.
I installed Saturday's snapshot, crossing my fingers and hoping the magical 802.11b/g fairy would grace me and it would recognize the built-in wireless. Alas, it's a Broadcom BCM4318. That's OK, I didn't expect the one that's built in to work. Stupid Broadcom. However, I was a little surprised when my Microsoft MN-520 PCMCIA adapter isn't found. This is the same physical adapter that works great with my work laptop (a straight Pentium-M Dell). It's this one, and works flawlessly with my D600: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-misc&m=109286218613735&w=2 So, here is the dmesg from the new laptop, running Saturday's snapshot (pardon any funkiness from cut-n-paste): OpenBSD 3.8-current (GENERIC) #320: Sat Dec 17 10:09:10 MST 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC cpu0: Mobile AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3000+ ("AuthenticAMD" 686-class, 128KB L2 cache) 1.80 GHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CF LUSH,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SSE3 cpu0: AMD Powernow: TS FID VID TTP TM STC cpu0: AMD PowerNow!

But I am curious to know why the same card works fine in my Dell, but not in my Presario. Would I be lucky enough that it would be a quick fix? Thanks much for any insight/cluebats.
