I have an IBM Thinkpad G40, which runs FreeBSD wonderfully, except for
one thing: The WiFi.
I found this entry that claims the WiFi card works, but I'm not having
the same experience:
http://gerda.univie.ac.at/freebsd-laptops/index.pl?action=show_laptop_detail&laptop=343
(Actually, other things are different as well, ACPI works perfectly as far
as I can tell)
Anyway, I'm looking for any advice. Originally using 5.3-RELEASE, and now
5.3-p8. I switched back to a GENERIC kernel to see if that helped, but
I see nothing in dmesg that would indicate that the WiFi is even detected.
