Just received one today. The builtin WiFi adapter is still a Broadcom
chip for which there is no known open-source driver, and worse, the
builtin 100BT is now *also* a damned Broadcom thingy (BCM4401), for
which there is a Linux driver but no FreeBSD driver (and as someone else
recently noted, just adding a new chip ID to if_bge.c results in a nice,
immediate panic).

What was so wrong with the good ol' 3Com chips they had in
Inspiron 8200? :(
 
Thomas.
