Hi,

I've got Lattitude D620 which has T2300 (Core duo) 1.66GHz CPU with 
integrated Intel graphics card. FreeBSD 6.1 is installed fine, didn't 
test yet suspend/resume, bge complains with firmware handshake timed out 
message.

dmesg:

I might have problem with wireless (Dell Wireless 1490 802.11a/g 
Dual-band Mini Card - which seems like bcm4310).

none4 at pci12:0:0:        class=0x028000 card=0x00071028 chip=0x431214e4
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Broadcom Corporation'
    device   = 'BCM4310 UART'
    class    = network

Did somebody succesfully make wireless bcm4310 work under FreeBSD?
Did somebody try with ndisulator? Please let me know.

Just loaded hdac from http://people.freebsd.org/~deischen/hdac.tgz and 
will test audio.

pcm0 at pci0:27:0: class=0x040300 card=0x01c21028 chip=0x27d88086 rev=0x01 
hdr=0x00
     vendor   = 'Intel Corporation'
     device   = '82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio'
     class    = multimedia
...

Also I will test X later after recompiling Xorg with following patch:

I will post results of audio and graphics test soon.

Meanwhile, can somebody provide me steps that required to make most 
stuff work in Lattitude laptops?

thanks in advance,

Ganbold
