This is the one I heard about. Supposedly good stuff, but were
announced a month after I got my san cards so I didn't get to try to buy
any.

Haven't heard anything memorable about or tried.

I have several of the A102u, but if I remove the daughter board it is
magically an A101u, tho I have not tried that on 4.6, but did
(successfully) in earlier versions.
I have several messages in the archives and on gnats from when I was
getting them going, but when I upgraded to 4.6 they just "worked" same
as they have since I installed them.
They actually seem to DDB less and less as I upgrade to newer versions
of OpenBSD. Not that they would ever DDB often, generally only if I
reboot instead of halt and powercycle or if something goes on with an
AT&T line and they run their automated tests. One of their tests used
to cause it, and may still, but I haven't had reason to find out.
