Ah, an interesting point. No, I didn't download any firmware for the card -- it Just Worked. If, as you suggest, this is to some extent unexpected, it's possibly explained by the machine having had Windows on it before: it _might_ be (I'm not sure I've necessarily convinced myself of the logic here) that this had ensured there were up-to-date drivers, in a way that wouldn't have been true if I'd installed OpenBSD onto the 'raw' machine.
