Hi

I'm looking at getting an IBM ThinkPad R50p to run FreeBSD 4.10 on, or 
5.2.1 / 5.3 if recommended.  My current Inspiron 8000 has done its dash.

Has anyone on this list successfully run FreeBSD on one of these models? 
I've been following this list in digest mode for a little while and have 
learnt not to get a centrino based wireless adapter.  The IBM site says it 
has an IBM wireless adapter.

>From what I can tell, the laptop is well supported under Debian Linux, but
I've not seen anyone confirm the laptop under FreeBSD.

It is Pentium M 1.7Ghz, with
ATI Mobility FireGL T2 (Support in XF86 4.4 Source)
Intel Pro 1000 Ethernet
IBM 11a/b/g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.  Apparently atheros chipset.

Comments?
