Hi list,
Seems to me that this card isn't recognized at boot time (dmesg pasted at
the end of this email). It's a PCMCIA card. Instead of a wifi device
OpenBSD tries to allocate a serial port (com3).
I don't think it is necessarily related to the wi(4) driver. I experienced
very similar behaviour with an ne(4) PCMCIA card (D-Link DE-650). Sometimes
it got detected correctly as ne3, sometimes as a non-working serial port
(pccom?). The machine was a ThinkPad T42 and the following part of the dmesg
is from 4.2-current. ACPI was not configured. I haven't used that card since
then.
It hasn't changed. The Ethernet card gets incorrectly detected as com* in
one PCMCIA slot (pcmcia0) and correctly as ne3 in the other (pcmcia1). It
still has some probles there from time to time. Don't know what is the
cause of this.
Have you tried your wi(4) card in both PCMCIA slots in your laptop? (One
slot at a time, of course.)
Regards,
David
