If this is a real machine, swapping the card is probably the best
idea. If it's vmware, you may be able to change settings and use
Intel emulation and em(4) or vmxnet and vic(4) (with newer OpenBSD).

sk and bge work fine too. I think re and dc as well, but I'm
not actively using them (re -> machine's blown up, dc -> my znyx
card is too long to fit into anything I have handy). xl works
sometimes but is not a great choice.
