It's not the availability of the firmware that bothers me about Intel wireless. I have had laptops with iwi and iwn cards (thinkpads) and I found that the firmware crashes frequently. I have always swapped them out for ral, ath or urtwn. > All Lenovo systems have a BIOS whitelist of permitted wireless cards, > although for many laptop models that turns out to be only variants of > iwn anyway. misc/tpwireless ;) I am more interested in the touchscreen support at this stage. The X230t has one of those pressure sensitive wacom screens. I see FreeBSD has a Wacom driver, but we don't. Maybe you don't need a driver for the base functionality... -- Best Regards Edd Barrett http://www.theunixzoo.co.uk
