I also got Lenovo G565 with Broadcom 4313 unsupported yet by OpenBSD,
but this is not an issue to me, so I can wait until the driver is
ported.
You should print out the list of supported WiFi's and consult your
notebook distributor when buying a note to be sure.
Some distributors may provide hardware configuration according to the
client's wish. I don't know how it is in your country.

Most distributors have only 1 bit to deal with this info:

- wifi
- no wifi

In such places, asking just for the brand is ask to much
already. Depending on where you live, you'll have to figure it out
yourself.

This can be very difficult to deal with since most manufacturers not
only won't tell you exactly what parts they're using but will change
them without notice.  What I did was to install the latest amd64
snapshot to a USB stick, boot that on the demo machines in stores, and
save the dmesg to the stick so I could analyze it later for unsupported
hardware.  Most (but not all) stores here were willing to let me do
this.  I eventually found a model where everything I cared about worked.

Should that be w500 with dual core. Core two duos have botched microcode
with security risks according to Theo, though I'm not sure of the
specifics/severity.

Don't worry about the wireless adapter. If It isn't compatible, buy a 
nano wifi adapter [1] (are very cheap and compatible).


The other hardware is more important because you can't change this if 
your election is bad. Just buy a good laptop :)
