I may just have to put in a atheros mini-pci wireless card for now then. The Bluetooth not working is a bummer though. I have a number of Bluetooth devices that I use with my current laptop and FreeBSD 6.2. Does anyone know if some one is working on a driver for this Bluetooth device? Anyone have any experience with the video. I have always been a fan of NVIDIA and dedicated video ram but I have heard of some problems with NVIDIA + ACPI + DRI driver. Without getting to much of a religious war... Here are my two choices: Integrated Intel(r) Graphics Media Accelerator 950=20 256MB NVIDIA(r) GeForce(tm) Go 7400 TurboCache Any comments on the video on any platforms? ---- Kirk
