Well, I have no proof that OpenBSD driver works. :-) I've read all the
commit logs for OpenBSD's driver since it was imported from DFly and
some of them mention that stuff is working on macppcs. But I haven't
installed OpenBSD on my iBook.

I hope to read RF code next week to see if I might find something
suspicious (I don't have that much C experience, esp. on device driver
level, but how knows :]). If that won't help, will try to install
OpenBSD to make sure it really works there.
