Yes, the function ppbattach is much more "hinged" here than in NetBSD.
I would anyway suggest you to think about this issue, because Intel WiFi Link 5100 is a very common card and both OpenBSD, FreeBSD already support it.
Up to now, this makes such laptops useless with NetBSD (neither the Ethernet card, Marvell 88E8072, is supported). I gave up installing NetBSD here.
Thank you for your help,
