Elsa AirLancer MC-11 works without a hitch.
Hello everybody,
feel free to rip my head off (or just write me a mail) if this is totally
irrelevant to the mailing list and similar won't happen again.
Searching the archives and other web resources I found scant information
about wireless networking with openbsd.
Maybe because it just works without a problem?
Anyway, information about actual working products is scarce in the archives.
So purely for archival purposes, here is a success report of an PCI to PCMCIA
wireless networking card with openbsd 2.7 and 2.8.
The Elsa AirLancer MC-11 PCI Card works without a flaw, by extension this
also applies to the PCMCIA Card.
It is compatible to the Lucent Wavelan IEEE, Orinoco, Silver card
(WaveLAN 802.11DS PCMCIA wi driver)
