Please provide the dmesg of your box with the card inserted. From your two lines I don't know if the card was not seen at all (e.g. your cardbus slot plays games like mine likes to do) or if it was recognized but the driver did not attach because the PCI IDs were not matched. Without that info we can not help you. > This same system recognies a Netgear MA111 v1 usb wireless adapter, > automatically loading the wi driver, and the whole system was installed > by network that way, with no wired ethernet connection needed. > > So, does the malo driver need to be loaded manually, and is it even on > the OpenBSD 4.1 network install cd (from cd41.iso)? > No malo(4) is not on any of the install medias as we are not allowed to ship the firmware. Without firmware you can not make the card work and so it does not make sense to include the driver. GENERIC on the other hand has malo(4) enabled. -- :wq Claudio
