Wireless OpenBSD coverage

[agabriel at home.tzo.org (Anthony Gabrielson)]

I heard he quit after the team didn't want to go looking for insecure 
code.  Also I'm under the impression that the other BSDs use a closed 
source firmware which OpenBSD refused to use.  They reverse engineered 
what was needed and open sourced it.

am I off?

Since the netbsd box was a $10 computer show pickup I just tossed it and replaced it with a cheapo pre-packaged AP from the Microcenter bargain table.
