My choice was based mostly on this presentation (a bit old): http://www.openbsd.org/papers/brhard2007/mgp00012.html So which is the best choice? Right now I'm seriously thinking about the D-Link DWA-130 (AR9001U/otus) over the D-Link DWA-130 , even if the 802.11n capabilities aren't supported right now. Thanks in advance! -- David A.

I have a D-Link DWA-110 I have plugged in various G3/G4 PPC systems that works very well. rum0 at uhub1 port 4 "Ralink 802.11 bg WLAN" rev 2.00/0.01 addr 2 rum0: MAC/BBP RT2573 (rev 0x2573a), RF RT2528, address ba:ba:ba:ba:ba:ba cheers, -- nicolas
OpenBSD PPC on iBook G3 -- Wireless alternatives?
I've just got an old iBook G3, and want to run OpenBSD on it, so there's some recommendation about which USB wireless adapter would work better on this PPC laptop? The idea is to to learn PPC assembly and do some C code on it, there's no need for X or sound, a minimal install and some developer tools would be enough for me. So all I need on this box is OpenBSD/Vi/Wifi/OpenBSD sticker to cover the Apple Logo. Thanks in advance! -- David A.
