All I have for OpenBSD is the latest (5.4) USB-stick image from liveusb-openbsd.sourceforge.net , and updated bsd.rd for OpenBSD 5.5, 5,6 and 5.7. Neither AR9271 (athn) nor rsu ever loaded the firmware. On NetBSD-current, sometimes athn works at least for some time before silently quitting, but most of the time I get athn0: could not load firmware (35) Fortunately Realtek 8111E Ethernet works with re, now FreeBSD as well as NetBSD, but not OpenBSD (maybe the upcoming OpenBSD 5.8 due for Oct 18, 2015?). A problem with OpenBSD is not supporting gpt. I noticed gpt commented out in GENERIC config (cvsweb interface), but now I see, on www.openbsd.org/plus58.html Disable GPT support. It appears to create broken spoofed labels for empty disks. (end of quote) That makes it very difficult to do anything with OpenBSD, unless I do everything on USB sticks (limited writes?). Try to cross-compile Bitrig (forked from OpenBSD) from NetBSD-current amd64? I actually git-cloned and updated (git pull) the source, xenocara and ports trees to at least have a look. Tom
