Thank you, Anton! I found a lot of problems with various chipsets which is why I asked on the list here to see what is supported well by OpenBSD. It turns out several guys have all mentioned good results with cards based on one of the Marvell chipsets. My local shops don't have that card, they only have a card based on a chipset that seems to be problematical. I'll look for the recommended one online. /jl
