This was my fault, you never stated a desire to do WPA encryption..


I hope that clarifies things, it often confuses new users that OpenBSD has WPA implemented in way that's different from the other BSD's and Linux.
Interesting...man wpa_supplicant tells a different story :S. It primarily talks about wireless networks, and has a list of compatible drivers for wifi cards.

The available drivers to specify with the -D option are:

hostap (default) Host AP driver (Intersil Prism2/2.5/3).
(this can also be used with Linuxant DriverLoader).

hermes Agere Systems Inc. driver (Hermes-I/Hermes-II).

madwifi
MADWIFI 802.11 support (Atheros, etc.).

atmel ATMEL AT76C5XXx (USB, PCMCIA).
All of which is irrelevant in my case anyway because:
a) The man page is dated 28 May 2007
b) The wpi driver used by the 3945 card isn't listed (presumably it was created after May 2007)

Thanks anyway .
