Hey folks,
So now I have a few macbook laptops, they would be really great to run
FreeBSD except that the wifi isn't supported.
The macbooks have a broadcom BCM43xx chip inside of it for wifi.
Is anyone interested in a *free* (to keep) laptop(s) in exchange for
finishing this driver?
Getting FreeBSD running on older mac hardware would open up a pretty
large niche of laptops that are starting to get on the second use market.
Please let me know, I can drop the laptop off anywhere in the SF bay
area, or possibly toss it into a USPS/UPS box and send it to you.
My only ask is that after 3 months, if the driver isn't somewhat working
you return it so that it can be donated to a charity supporting the
homeless.
thanks!
-Alfred
