Thinkpad T440p and T540p

[Stefan Wendler]

Hi,

thx for the reply. Unfortunately I had to decide on the notebook shortly after writing my initial mail. It looks like I don't have an Optimus or Haswel Intel Grafics Card. But I have a 7260 Wireless card ... dang.
I well see what I can do. Thank You.

Cheers,
Stefan

As far as I know modern Thinkpads have Intel Wireless 7260 NIC, which is
also unsupported by FreeBSD.
