I'd like to say that not only did it work flawlessly on OpenBSD 2.9, but it is the _only_ operating system with which the card worked. I tried Win2K with the vendors drivers, Linux, NetBSD and FreeBSD, and there would always be timeout problems.
To solve the WEP insecurity, I installed vtun
(http://vtun.sourceforge.net). I did that mostly because I had no time to set up IPsec.
My OpenBSD-access point listens on 192.168.3.1, and ipf denies any traffic going through this interface and going to any other place. Then I wrote a script for my laptop (wilan-start) which starts vtund.
I configured vtund so that the default route is actually the tunnel endpoint, so that every traffic goes through the tunnel. I never use 192.168.3.x directly, and you should not do so.
In the whole, OpenBSD acts as an excellent wireless access point, and I'm really happy with it.

I even have Win2k talking to the mix as well as PGPNet.
Once the clients are configured to only talk to IPSec hosts this effectivly turns the gateway into an "Access Point" even though it's still just in ad-hoc mode.
