Hi, machine: j...@john-desktop:~$ uname -a Linux john-desktop 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:58:03 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux Output of lsusb: j...@john-desktop:~$ lsusb Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04f2:b064 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:8197 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

Oddly, I have to use recovery mode in the boot menu, recover nothing, then wifi is seen. I think the reason for this is because it pauses probing, maybe it needs time to wake up. If I just boot ubuntu normally, it never initializes (it times out) and it never re-initializes I want this laptop to be multi-boot vista/openbsd. All serious work being done on openbsd. I need to keep the vista part for work reasons. i'd be completely grateful if you could tell me what you did to get this wifi to work under openbsd. Many thanks, -- John
