Just some random thoughts here: If you directly connect your OpenBSD PC to the ADSL modem (w/ a network cable), does the problem disappear? If you boot your OpenBSD PC with another OS (e.g. w/ a Linux LiveCD, and then try to connect using the wpi wireless device, does the problem disappear? You wrote that this worked before w/ your OpenBSD PC and that ADSL modem. Did you change anything on the PC or modem around the time it stopped working? Does the ADSL modem automatically update its firmware? Is dmesg silent when it fails or does it say anything? Not sure if this will help you but anyway. kind reagards, --ropers
