a script to check if openbsd can properly run GC/wlan?

[hd77]

hello,

i know nothing about coding

i was thinking if a kind of script to check, as for windows or maybe linux, a lspci-based script whom checks about openbsd-compatible-hardware, especially for graphic card and network/wlan card?

it would be so useful to know before the installation, eg running a liveusb, to see if the computer will support openbsd..

Load the installer and check dmesg from the shell, perhaps?

There is also https://dmesgd.nycbug.org/index.cgi ← search there to see if your prospective machine is listed.

There is also an OpenBSD livecd to test Video/Audio and input devices:
Fuguita

One potential issue is with wireless firmware. Intel does not allow the firmware to be distributed with the install media or livecd's
