Hi,
i just tried to install FreeBSD on a new Lenovo laptop (see details below).
But it seems I'm unable to get the wifi interface to work.
It simply doesn't appear at "ifconfig", there is only "lo0"
As this laptop doesn't have a ethernet input, it's impossible to go on with installing by cable.
I've tried to add the following lines to /boot/loader.conf, but nothing worked:
(I know some of them probably make no sense, but i only tried because i didn't know what else to try...)
pciconf -lvc showed:
After booting a live Mint linux I could extract the following system information:
After searching I only found that it probably might not work, as FreeBSD doesn't offer good support for most wifi card.
So, is it generally possible to get the onboard wlan to run (I don't want to buy a usb wlan adapter) ?
As a general question: Is this laptop suitable for a FreeBSD desktop system, or should i look for other hardware?
Please help me, I'm stuck.
Greetings
