SOLVED: help with Linksys WMP11?

[jakob@free.fr (Jakob)]

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,
