After getting a mortgage, selling my car and a kidney I was finally able to get myself a notebok .. I got a Dell 1318 (Celeron 560, Broadcom BCM4312 802.11b/g, Broadcom NetLink BCM5906M Fast Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02)).
Now, after googling a lot, with low expectations on getting the BCM4312 working out of the box, and before I get down to it, I would like to know: is there anyone in here running FreeBSD on this notebook so at least I know I won't be alone?
I'm particularly interested in how good does hibernation/suspend works (or if it at least does work) under 7.1 or 7.2 and.. well what to expect regarding the Crapcom BCM4312 wl card ... (I know DFBSD has a driver for it but I couldn't find any info on wether it was ported and merged into 7.2).
Any info will be much appreciated.
Thanks =)
