My next step is to go line by line through OpenBSD ral & existing FreeBSD ral and try to find a way to either create an abstraction layer for easy porting or otherwise structure our driver to successfully "eat" OpenBSD changes in the future. This will take significant time on my part, as I am a noobophyte :). If anyone knows of useful tools for organizing very large C sources by function please let me know, it would help! I will do some major hacking at it tonight I suppose...it's about time :). I'll post updates sometime soon, but OpenBSD's 80211 stack seems quite different than ours...pci stuff is all different for sure. Matt
