can someone with openbsd pls read out and provide me a EEPROM dump of
this card as file? thx in advance.

meanwhile ill port the bsd hal back to linux since the ar5k driver for
linux is no more available.

ive integrated ar5xxx.h/c in the madwifi tree but it does not compile
yet... system header names and expectably much is different. maybe this
is not possible (economic).

maybe i set up a freebsd install. i need to rewrite the EEPROM.

for the price having it done by d-link i get surely a new one.
