This is a general OpenBSD mailing list. For problem reports, there is
bugs@. The sendbug(1) utility should be used to send reports to that
list. Vague qualifications like "ages" are not helpful, even with a
pasted dmesg. Think about how helpful it would be to the person
answering. For problems with network, one would assume that
network-related, and especially wireless-related, configuration files
would be more relevant. This article[1] is also helpful.

Again - the mentioned files, along with the problem report, should be 
sent to bugs@, using sendbug(1).

But given an influx of one-paragraph "bug reports" sent recently from
"OpenBSD" "freak", it seems the desired targeted conclusion is that
he/she might (emphasis on might!) have a much better experience, and
make life easier to everyone involved, by using a "user friendly" OS
like Windows, or at least a "user friendly" "Linux" "distro" like
Ubuntu instead of OpenBSD.

OpenBSD is not a "user friendly" "desktop" OS (though it can be used as
a "desktop" system), which should come at no surprise to anyone reading
a bit about it as it is not its design goal. Its main design goal is
that it is a system with sane, proactively secure defaults, with a
number of unique security-related features (like pledge(2) and
unveil(2) - which can surprise users not accustomed to them when using
some web browsers) and hand-picked patches for ports. Many critical
decisions and changes were made, with security as the guiding
principle, at the expense of (often dubious) convenience. It cen be
deduced that its target audience are tech experts, especially those
leaning towards network administration and security.
