oh wow that's great news! I don't have openbsd installed on (the machine) yet - lack of support for this device was a show-stopper as it is a laptop. Linux shows this in the dmesg: [ 105.708047] rtl8187: Invalid hwaddr! Using randomly generated MAC address [ 214.908048] rtl8187: 8187B chip detected. Support is EXPERIMENTAL, and could damage your [ 214.908050] hardware, use at your own risk [ 214.909768] phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'pid' [ 218.447469] phy0: hwaddr 6e:72:7b:10:73:c6, RTL8187BvB V1 + rtl8225z2 [ 218.447515] usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl8187 (rest of dmesg is at http://www.growveg.org/laptop/kubuntu/kubuntu-8_dmesg.txt) I managed to get it actually working under ubuntu-9.04 but have no lspci output for it yet. the last time I tried freebsd-current back in November, I got: no...@pci0:4:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0xff501179 chip=0x436c11ab rev=0x16 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Marvell Semiconductor (Was: Galileo Technology Ltd)' class = network subclass = ethernet cap 01[48] = powerspec 3 supports D0 D1 D2 D3 current D0 cap 05[5c] = MSI supports 1 message, 64 bit cap 10[c0] = PCI-Express 2 legacy endpoint I need to install the latest openbsd now. Can you post your usbdevs -v ifconfig -a and relevant bit of dmesg? I'll be really interested in seeing those. What's performance like? My laptop is a toshiba satellite A300 -- John
