Hello FreeBSD-users ,
yesterday I installed FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-amd64 on my new Dell Inspiron 15R Special Edition and the wireless network card on the machine was not detected during the installation.
The card is Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 and it is working fine on both Windows and Ubuntu-linux, but FreeBSD detected only the onboard ethernet card. Internet is working fine when the the ethernet cable is connected to the machine, but since it is a laptop it would be nice with wifi.
So what can I do to make the wifi work? I am absolutely new to FreeBSD.
Also when FreeBSD is running on the machine, the machine makes a lot of noise, the same noise as when I tested to play BF3. I suspect that it has something to do with the dedicated graphic card, AMD Radeon HD 7730M. Can the dedicated card be turned off?, I could not do it through the BIOS-settings, I could not find anything there.
The computer has intel core i7-3612QM with integrated gpu intel-HD4000, 8 GB ram and a 256 GB samsung 830 ssd-drive.
I appreciate all help I can get, and apologies for my not-so-good english.
