Hello I just received my Thinkpad T460.
I started a setup of 10.3 release from a USB memstick install and I cannot make the Intel wireless card work.
Do I have any chance to make it work with FreeBSD?
Very sad news! Can I have hope that any of these device will work in the future?
I now looking for a wireless USB adapter. Which brand works best for FreeBSD?
The only brand USB fobs I have tested were RALink. They work but at a limited range. There are complaints about them. They use an firmware blob. https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?run(4)
The RT5572/92 worked best for me.
I created a new thread to generally approach your problem: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/56071/
Question is does your IBM laptop use a BIOS whitelist for devices. If so you can forget about using the M.2 slot for anything not on the list.
Exactly my thoughts wblock@. Seems like all the IBM laptops use a whitelist. Some other manufacturer have backed off while IBM has not.
I had an HP Mini and replaced the bios to strip the whitelist so I could run a MC7700 in it. It would only support HP rebranded cellular modems and none LTE at the time. Was not a pleasant experience on a newer machine to install an hacked firmware found in a forum to "fix" my HP.
ho in fact my device is Broadcom BCM4356 and not the intel model.
I tried the bwn driver without success.
I have also tried to convert the windows driver with ndisgen, successfully generated the ko module.
I have loaded the module with no error but no sign of success also. I have downloaded the drivers for windows 10.
Any chance to make it work ?
