How do I configure my WIFI USB Adapter in OpenBSD? It is a model Realtek
RTL8187B.

Since you're posting to the powerpc-specific OpenBSD mailing list, I'm
assuming you're usong OpenBSD/macppc, but next time please provide
more information.  See http://www.openbsd.org/report.html for details.

Anyway, the OpenBSD/macppc kernel doesn't include the urtw(4) driver.
Please try to build a kernel with the diff below.

Cheers,

Mark

Side note, but as prep for upgrading the 17" PowerBook G4 OS X 10.3.9 to OpenBSD CURRENT, I have moved 45 GB of files across the urtw WiFi at Intel + OpenBSD end - from inbuilt WiFi at G4 + OS X end.

Cheap and cheerful urtw should work just as well under OpenBSD PPc as it does under i386.

FWIW, my /etc/hostname.urtw0 is:

('<<'  and '>>' are, of course, superfluous.}
===

ifconfig urtw0 nwid << the available network by announced name >> wpa wpapsk
<< your router's expected psk string >>
dhclient urtw0

===

If it doesn't come up automagically (you may not WANT it to do so if/as/when you [also] have CAT5), test it by invoking it from the CLI.
