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)

Relevant 2.8 dmesg output:
