Hey guys. I come to you with a new problem. I'm currently running FreeBSD on my pretty new HP 15-bs212wm. From what I have gathered from Windows and Linux, which are also installed on the same Laptop, it's got either Realtek or Intel for the Wireless, and, as it says clearly on the sticker, "Reliable Intel Celeron Processor". Okay, that was just me trying to be funny. But it's got a Celeron, and Xorg works just fine under Lubuntu. I know that someone on these forums said that porting a Linux Driver to FreeBSD is like putting an AUDI part into a BMW, but I'm just crazy enough to try... :3 If I can't get the graphics working beyond using the SCFB Driver. Ethernet (not surprisingly) works fine. And the Display is okay, but here are my goals. I wish to get the WiFi working, and the Display to be able to increase in brightness, and have a proper refresh rate. I'm posting this from FreeBSD now, through Firefox, over Ethernet. Now, the important info...

And freebsd-version returns:
Is that enough? I can provide more info as needed. And if I end up having to write Driver(s), I'll be sure to share it/them. Thank you for any help, guys... I truly appreciate it. :3 Oh, one more thing. I tried ndiswrapper, but either I did not have the right SYS and INF Files from Windows, or it failed in some other way. Have a good day, ok?
