This is the right place, you just haven't done your research so no one bothered to answer. You might want to look into [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello all, I'm trying to get a mini pci card working on OpenBSD 4.0. I ripped this card out of a dlink router that we weren't using. From what I understand it's supposed to use the acx driver. When I try to do an 'ifconfig acx0 up' it gives me 'Device no configured' I'm assuming that this is because OpenBSD didn't detect the card. I scoured the dmesg output but didn't find anything that looks like a wireless card.
If $dmesg | grep acx gives you nothing then ifconfig acx0 won't work. Where does your information that it's supposed to be acx(4) come from?
I'm not overly familiar with the way openbsd handles hardware so is there a way to 'force' openbsd to find the card?
No. Everything your kernel can load is loaded. OpenBSD is not like linux :)
I've already installed the firmware as specified in the man-page, but I don't know where to go from here.. I have a feeling I'm SOL with this card
If it's from a dlink, probably. Get a ral(4), they are from a nice taiwanese company that is friendly to open source. [snip dmesg] -Nick
