I just replaced the IPW2200 mini-PCI card in my Thinkpad with a
ral(4)-based MSI MP54G4 (MS-6833A-010) from newegg.com (dmesg snippet

used to indicate association with an access point and network activity
no longer lights up at all.
Any ideas if this is just a software issue or maybe a hardware
incompatibility between mini-PCI cards?
Thanks.

I guess it's a software issue or the combination thinkpad/ralink.
I have a Sitecom WL-112 card with Ralink chipset in my Thinkpad. The
activity-LED stays dark, only the yellow link-LED lights up.
When used in a (non Thinkpad) laptop running windows the activity LED
turns green.
Let's say it's a feature, when the green LED lights up, you're not
running OpenBSD.
I'm running current (4.0 GENERIC#1093 i386) but i had same issue with
3.9, maybe even 3.8.
Since the card is and always was fully functional i don't really care,
maybe my laptop runs even a little longer on battery this way...
