I have a couple of Thinkpad T23s (2 x USB 1 ports) that I'm hoping to be able to use with a HSPA wireless dongle, which appear to require USB 2. Also, USB external disks generally work, but are painfully slow at USB 1 rates :) cheers, Ian PS: I'm in the middle of moving, so please excuse any delay in response.

I would hope to have a fully functioning unit with few device driver issues if possible. I do realize that new hardware and FreeBSD are usually and issue, but if 90% work and the rest comes later that would be great. Any guidance on this would be great.

I'm not sure if any one has tried installing FreeBSD on a Lenovo X1, but this was the laptop I was considering. It seems like most of hardware is intel. But I'm unsure of support for its hardware in the current BSD. Here is a link to the site, and if you know of any issues installing it please let me know. http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/webca/LenovoPortal/en_CA/catalog.workflow:category.details?current-catalog-id=12F0696583E04D86B9B79B0FEC01C087¤t-category-id=F8EAB670D7F93AC90F0B9F6C58B8E7A2&action=init Cheers, Shaun > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Markus Hoenicka > 25 July, 2011 4:35 AM > > > Shaun Reiger was heard to say: > > > Hi Shaun, > > you may find some guidance here: > > http://laptop.bsdgroup.de/freebsd/ > > I also have, like probably many others on this list, a story to tell. > See these blog entries: > > http://www.mhoenicka.de/system-cgi/blog/index.php?itemid=2132 > > http://www.mhoenicka.de/system-cgi/blog/index.php?itemid=2133 > > regards, > Markus > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Shaun Reiger > 25 July, 2011 3:46 AM > > > Hi > > I'm looking at purchasing a new laptop and I'm wondering which > brand/model is recommended to run FreeBSD.
