It detects as a wi0 on my Dell with OpenBSD 3.2. OpenBSD has detected a 
Cisco 340 a 350 and an Orinoco Gold card on install and they all worked 
great. None of these could install a functioning setup with any of those 
cards, Redhat 8.0, Mandrake 9.0, Debian 3 and FreeBSD 4.6. Drove me nuts.

The bsd-airtools package from the ports collection seems to work. I've 
been unable to get the source to compile though so I run the package.
