We have a "Lucent Wlan"-driver, wi(4). I think wi(4) and ath(4) are the 
best choices, from my investigation, the WLAN-market is pretty retarded.
I have a ath(4)-driven, it works so far. See those both manpages for
lists of supported devices. (hint: D-Link WAG311 version *2*  is not supported 
by ath(4)).

WRT Notebook-technology, we just have PCMCIA-support. OpenBSD has ath(4) drivers
with USB-support, so I guess it is easy to write.
Maybe it is supported, the manpage is wrong then.
Somebody could clear that up.
