Hei all.
i´m a Debian Sid user since 1997 and i´ll give FreeBSD a try and would like to install it on a another partition on my Thinkpad X1 Carbon 5th gen. As i know from Debian is it not it possible to use the normal Debian network.iso for the installation because of the wifi chip in this Thinkpad. So it works only with the Debian non-free.iso with the special non-free driver for the wifi chip
# lspci
04:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 8265 / 8275 (rev 88)
My question is:
Is it possible to use the normal "FreeBSD-13.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso" to install it on these Thinkpad? The reason behind: I can use only wifi, not the NIC. It is important that wifi works immediately so that the system can then be updated and the required software can be installed.
