I was trying to get wifi working on my old (new purchase ... ) ThinkPad X41 but couldn't get the wifi led to come on. I did notice that I needed to add some license agreement statement to loader.conf to make it work but couldn't manage it, so gave up and tried installing Debian Linux. This informs me that I need to install some firmware (ipw220-bs.fw) to enable it. Presumably I need to do this on FreeBSD... Does the same firmware work for both FreeBSD and Debian? Where would I find it and how to load it? I suspect that if/when I find it, I just need to copy it to the correct directory (/boot/firmware ???) and it will be loaded automatically.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
