Just in case, somebody is searching the archive of
this list for a solution to
my problem (using a Linksys WMP11 Mini PCI WaveLan
wireless network adapter
with OpenBSD):

I upgraded from OpenBSD 3.0 to the present snapshot
(ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/i386/
dated 6 march 2002), and
the card was automatically recognized. the driver is
wi(4), and configuration
is done via wicontrol(8).

HTH,
