These devices need a machine with PCI 2.2 or greater so old pentium
machines aren't likely to cut it.  I think the 3.3v behaviour was optional
with earlier versions of the spec and later made mandatory.

This is mentioned in the OpenBSD man page for the RT2500 driver.

I'd be interested in a product/model name if your device
is not listed in the RT2500 device list in that page.
