I was really excited to learn that as of late OpenBSD has support for Sierra Novatell Wireless cards. The lack of support held me back from using OpenBSD on my laptop because I need the wireless access.
So I bought the Novatel Wireless U720 which is listed as "Devices suspected of being compatible" in the umsm manial page. I followed the umsm and ppp man pages and can establish a ppp connection doing the following (conf files and dmesg outputs follow). #ppp -ddial default This establishes a tun0 interface and I am able to ping out and resolve dns. Something like ping openbsd.org works ok, so does dig openbsd.org, and so does ftp ftp://ftp.openbsd.org But when I try to open http://openbsd.org in lynx, try to telnet openbsd.org 80 and GET /index.html HTTP/1.0, whois openbsd.org, or I try to pkg_add something, it doesn't work. Nothing happens. The request is sent but no response is displayed. So I really can't figure out what the issue is. I'm not running PF and I have activated the card on Windows. I tried all this as root to be sure it's not a permission issue. Please take a look at my configuration and log files and let me know what I can do? PS I'm really excited that all the ACPI stuff on my laptop now works with 4.3 Current like the brightness buttons and halt -p. If I can get this stuff resolved with the wireless card, OpenBSD will be the OS of choice on not only my desktop and servers, but laptop as well.
