If there's an Atheros driver for OpenBSD, then the 3Com 3CRPAG175B a/b/g
card should be high on your list.

It fits completely in one PCMCIA slot without blocking the other in any
way. When you're not using it, you can push the antenna in flush against
the side (think toaster) so it won't catch on something and possibly
break while you're carrying your laptop around. Also, when the antenna
is retracted, the card is turned off and doesn't draw any power.
