I'm now running 4.5-beta:
Code:
# dmesg | head -1
OpenBSD 4.5-beta (GENERIC) #1684: Sun Feb 15 15:26:02 MST 2009
As far as I can tell, this is the first time OpenBSD has supported WPA with Atheros wireless chipsets, so for me at least, OpenBSD just got usable (on real hardware)!

Almost everything works nicely on my laptop, but there is one problem:
Code:
# dmesg | grep apm
apm0 at bios0: Power Management spec V1.2
apm0: AC on, battery charge unknown
Which means I can't get any battery monitors (klaptop, gkrellm etc.) to work. Is it worth me looking for a fix or workaround, or is this probably a permanent case of OpenBSD and ACPI/APM just not getting along?
