Hi board members,
once again i need a bit of help. I just bought Toshiba Satellite L500-1EU, and installed it with 8-RELEASE. I got gnome just fine, but when i wanted to set up my net connection ifconfig didn't show my wireless card. I took a look at the dmesg, it is not there. pciconf also does not list it.
Then i thought maybe i just need to turn it on by pressing combination keys (fn+F8) to get it working but that didn't help. Actually, none of other fn keys worked (screen brightness on F6 and F7 etc.) Some googling suggested that acpi_toshiba_load in loader.conf will solve the fn keys problem, but after reboot i didn't get any hw.acpi.toshiba sysctls.
I would appretiate any help with getting my wifi card working. Is it possible that i just bought very bad laptop model, or broken laptop? Thanx in advance...
