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.

The system informs me the following:
"ugen0 at uhub1 port 1 "Realtek RTL8187B" rev 2.00/2.00 addr 2"
Would not the "ugen0" be the driver in query? Or will I have even of
recompiling the kernel?
Thank you!
