Hm, I downloaded install CDs for NetBSD-4.0 and OpenBSD-4.3, and they do not show working wireless interface/no driver attached. How did you try it? Do you have any reference, alternatively? Wireless interface is not top priority for me at a moment, but if it were not too hard, I will try. My notebook is Wind U100 series... is yours similar or perhaps the same? Regards, Milan
