Hi Guys,

When I said -CURRENT is not recommended by OpenBSD I meant that its not
guaranteed. Sometimes you may success compailing and sometimes you don't.

I have 2 options:

1) To install OpenBSD 3.6 in order to see if ipw driver is included in the
generic kernel.

2) That you tell me either YES or NO so I can save time.

Regards
Bash
