Orinico 802.11 cards use static keys -- one key for all users of the 
access point.  For may reasons, this is a seriously bad idea from a 
security perspective.  Cisco has some sort of key negotiation, which is 
good from a security perspective.  But it's not standardized, so you're 
stuck with Cisco gear only, you need a Cisco access point, and I have 
no idea if any driver or daemon code are needed and if so if NetBSD has 
that stuff.
