I installed OpenBSD on my laptop and now I want to get a working mutt setup using my Gmail account. I found an excellent summary online called Using Gmail with mutt, the minimal way.
Networking seems to be veeeery slow. Checking out Emacs from CVS stalling for minutes, pkg_add taking forever, mutt bein glacial. I’m not happy. On the same wireless network the desktop is flying.
From #openbsd:
Han asked me some questions regarding ifconfig and netstat -nr – I pasted the results on a pastebot. [1]
Other people with the same problem. [2] When I ping 10.0.1.1 – my router – I get more than 20% packet loss (sometimes over 70% packet loss) if I run a large CVS checkout in the background.
It turns out that disabling WPA encryption solves my problem! [3] 
I’m back to OpenWLAN for the moment.
Hm… I’m not so sure. It worked fine for a bit, but suddenly I’m no longer sure. Gaaaah, this sucks balls. Big, hairy balls! 
Update: Downloading ubuntu-9.10-desktop-powerpc.iso – I just want to see whether it will work correctly or not. I saw various messages online saying that it worked! [4] [5] [6] [7]
