Toshiba L655

[cmckethen]

Ok, I have searched high and low for the answer and not yet found it. I want to switch to FreeBSD and I have a Toshiba laptop that has a Realtek 8188CE wireless card. I want to know if this is supported out of the box, and if not what I would have to do to get it enabled. I will not have access to a wired connection when I install, since this is the only computer I have available to me. Is this possible?

Any help that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

It seems to work on Debian with this additional repository below, but I haven't found any sources that will claim FreeBSD support.

# add-apt-repository ppa:lexical/hwe-wireless
# apt-get update
# apt-get install rtl8192ce-dkms

But if I leave the install that I currently have I will be dead in the water unless I can find a way to build a working wireless driver after I install, or if it will be recognized out of the box since I will not have access to a wired system.
