Default Thinkpad X201 compat check
Thinking of getting a lenovo thinkpad x201. here are the wireless cards according to their site. What is the current status of FreeBSD amd64 drivers of the wireless cards below (i.e. which ones should I consider when purchasing)
  • ThinkPad bgn Wireless
  • Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000
  • Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 (2x2 AGN)
  • Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 (3x3 AGN)
  • Intel Centrino Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250

Also anyone who owns one of these computers or the tablet version (or even last gen) how is the user experience for a ad hoc programming and research laptop?
