So far so good, it took some time, I managed to build CURRENT kernel
after the buildworld in the first place :-)

1. GPU DRM CURRENT MADE MY INTEL HD 5500 WORKING THANK YOU! :-)

2. WiFi Intel 7265 needs both if_iwm and iwm7265fw modules, it works :-)

3. Will play with U3G in order to make Sierra EM7305 LTE working..
hope it wont need any firmware binary blobs..

The last question - are there any PKG package repositories for
13-CURRENT? It takes ages on my laptop to build everything from
scratch (~9h for buildworld).. or I am left with PODRIERE?

Best regards :-)
