The driver is present in the kernel, it isn't a separate thing which gets installed. If detected the interface would show up in ifconfig before the firmware was loaded. The fact that it doesn't show up shows that it wasn't detected. dmesg might give some more clues (either copy via a USB stick, or use wired ethernet). Make sure that wifi is not disabled in BIOS if it gives that option. > Also how compatible is this particular laptop (thinkpad e15 gen2 with intel > i5-1135G7) with OpenBSD.
