Laptops

[Pratt, Benjamin E.]

I just installed 5.3-RC1 on a Panasonic Toughbook (366 MHz PII) last
night and things are working well. I haven't gotten a lot running yet
but don't foresee any problems. The only gotcha is I had to re-compile
the kernel to get my Proxim wireless card working (default kernel
doesn't have Atheros support) but that was a matter of adding a couple
of lines in my kernel's conf file and typing two commands.

Good luck,

Ben

I have a few PIII IBM and Toshiba laptops and was wondering about
putting FreeBSD on them. I have installed several Linux versions on them
(Caldera 2.4/3.1 - RH - SuSe - Mandrake) with minimum re-comps for
functionality on the hardware.
How does FreeBSD act on laptops any known issues?
