Hi
I'm looking at getting an IBM ThinkPad R50p to run FreeBSD 4.10 on, or
5.2.1 / 5.3 if recommended. My current Inspiron 8000 has done its dash.
Has anyone on this list successfully run FreeBSD on one of these models?
I've been following this list in digest mode for a little while and have
learnt not to get a centrino based wireless adapter. The IBM site says it
has an IBM wireless adapter.
>From what I can tell, the laptop is well supported under Debian Linux, but
I've not seen anyone confirm the laptop under FreeBSD.

It is Pentium M 1.7Ghz, with
ATI Mobility FireGL T2 (Support in XF86 4.4 Source)
Intel Pro 1000 Ethernet
IBM 11a/b/g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Apparently atheros chipset.
Comments?
