Dongles

I bought this dongle:

Asus WL-167g USB2 WLAN interface

It has the new Ralink Technology chip, which is supported by OpenBSD’s new ral driver. I like their strategy of snapping up market share by selling cheaper and better documented chips than Broadcom and Intel.

I was fooling around with it last night but the hard disk failed in my test machine. What a pain in the ass. IBM Deathstar.

    As we’ve said all along, it is the logical choice for manufacturers to open up the specifications and driver interface to their hardware, allowing for everybody to capitalize on and make maximum use of the device.

    Anyone who chooses otherwise is either paranoid or stupid.
