I have to use wireless USB on a certain laptop due to the idiotic BIOS
whitelist.

Quick note about drivers on OpenBSD.

I have found most are using urtwn(4) which is on the flakey side,
including that one a bunch of us bought from Maker Faire last year.

But I bought a few at Microcenter, and one happened to use run(4) with
RT5390.  So far, so good... but happy to have a Ralink chipset.  The
label is "Tenda" with the model W311MI.
