Re: incompatible wi-fi access point?

[Joshua Rubin <joshua@cybertron.cc>]

Hi Everyone,

Thanks so much for all the help with this problem. I have attached a more 
complete version of the previously suggested patch.  This patch also fixes 
the include file that defines the vendor code. Instructions on how to apply 
the patch are in the patch itself, but simply apply the patch and rebuild the 
kernel as described on http://www.openbsd.org/stable.html

Thanks again for everyone's help the fix works perfectly!

Joshua
