OK.  I decided that I wanted to try the amd64 laptops with cardbus,
express card and SD slot.  And I wanted to buy it from the shops
locally on saturday.  This means I went with a big, and kinda bulky
laptop from HP the dv5140us.  It was a bunch cheaper than the lifebook
I was looking at, and didn't have a two week lead time for the model
that I wanted.  Maybe I'll get one of them next year :-)

Alas, FreeBSD doesn't perfectly support this laptop.  I got lucky with
X, since the ATI part that in here just worked.  The wireless card and
the sound card appear to not have drivers.  I was wondering what my
options were for them:

none4@pci6:2:0: class=0x028000 card=0x1358103c chip=0x431914e4 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Broadcom Corporation'
    class    = network

(I'm guessing I'll have to do ndis for this one)

none1@pci0:20:5:        class=0x040100 card=0x30a4103c chip=0x43701002
rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'ATI Technologies Inc'
    class    = multimedia
    subclass = audio

am I SOL on this and need to get the pcmcia/cardbus sound cards in my
collection working?
