Is that the "ThinkPad 11a/b/g Wi-Fi wireless LAN Mini-PCIe > US/EMEA/LA/ANZ " > or the "Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN" Someone told me wpi is the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG and that the driver is coming along nicely, but is "experimental". If I could, I'd use the mini-PCI ath card from my T41, but that's not an option. The x61s uses mini-PCIe. The wifi options for the x61are listed below. With each option I've listed what I've found regarding support for that hardware. 1- ThinkPad 11a/b/g Wi-Fi wireless LAN Mini-PCIe US/EMEA/LA/ANZ no idea about this or if it's supported 2- Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [add $10.50 $3.90] in 7.x and 8.x and is experimental 3- Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN (supporting Centrino Pro) not supported but under development: http://www.clearchain.com/ wiki/Wpi So it seems option 2 is my only option. Are you having any issues with the wifi? -- Dan Langille -- http://www.langille.org/ [email protected] _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
