OpenBSD users:
In light of the recent post about ath(4) D-Link cards of particular
revision numbers not functioning properly, anyone who has the following
cards and can verify their functionality under some version of OpenBSD,
please inform me of that fact:
D-Link DWL-G520
D-Link DWL-G650
Senao 5354 MP plus
Linksys WPC55AG
If this functionality is restricted to particular revisions, please
report only the revisions that work.
Also, those of you who have purchased a wireless card new in the
last year or so, please send me the model number of the version that
you purchased, along with revision number and other relevant identifying
information. Email me off-list, or go to the link below and click
on the "Submit New Kit!" to submit this information.
This information is going into the MetaStore, located here:
http://www.sdeath.net/obsdstore
to help prevent other people from buying lemon hardware that won't
work with OpenBSD. I have no doubt that it is mildly inconvenient
to track down what you put in your machine and send the information
to some asshole in the hinterlands of Nowhere, but if everybody kicks
in one device's worth of information, after a very little while, the
options for _everybody_ get a lot better. I'm sure that everyone
here (myself included) who have once in their lives been bit by the
"OpenBSD Compatibility Curse" and had to brave the blank, bovine stare
of the computer-store salesdroid upon attempting to return the hardware
we thought looked so damned cool in the salesrack will appreciate having
those options. Suggestions welcome for the format, too.
