I recently purchased the Dell I6400 Ubuntu laptop, with the express intent of running FreeBSD on it. My intention was to use this a working machine using PC-BSD, I.E. RELENG_6, limiting tinkering, experimentation to other systems. It comes with an Intel 3945[1] mini PCIe card, which I knew would not work. So I ordered myself a Azurewave Atheros based mini PCIe card to replace it. Unfortunatly the ath_hal[2] doesn't recognise the hardware revision, so that doesn't work either. Does anybody know of a mini PCIe wireless card that works under RELENG_6? Failing that an ExpressCard? (The 6400 has no Card Bus) Notes: [1]I know there is a 3945 driver for 7 and an older rev fo 6, I tried it it locks up the machine. [2] Sam has a more recent HAL on his "people" page, but the headers have changed making it non-trivial, for me at least, to compile into a RELENG_6 kernel/module.
