I have the driver working perfectly on my Fujitsu T1010. You can read
about how I got it working on the Open Slate Wiki at



Scroll down to section 4.3 :Upgrading to FreeBSD-STABLE", that's where
the fun starts.

Warning: do not use freebsd-upgrade after going to STABLE. You will bonk
your system. I speak from experience. Thankfully, roll-back saved me.

For FreeBSD, it means merged from current.  Google will help you with that.
You may also want to use www.google.com/bsd



I download
the Freebsd 8-release and i don't know to download a 8-stable.  Can you
please say me what i do ? Thank you in every case  and sorry for my

You would need to update your system from the release branch to the stable
branch.  Basically you need to cvsup sources from STABLE, build world and
kernel then install them.  That part is covered well in the handbook.




I'm currently using the iwn driver on my 8.0-REL system.

You can follow the instructions here:

Be sure to read the whole tread!

Support for that device got MFCed to 8-STABLE a short time after 
8.0-RELEASE.
