What I'm more worried about is hardware support, specifically for a PCI Wifi board I pulled from recycling a while ago. It'll probably trivial to find out, even if just by installing the OS and trying fw_update.

I need to just sit down and do it, but I have a working setup right now and can't quite get the motivation to at the moment.

Yeah wlan is by far the weakest point of OpenBSD networking - especially as an AP. Slipped my mind completely actually. The way most do it is to have separate APs.

Still, you can check https://man.openbsd.org/pci.4#Wireless_network_interfaces to get a general idea. Unfortunately only a few support host AP mode (last I checked).
