To make you aware, I have a toshiba satellite A135-S4517, and the wpi driver included in RELENG_7_0 doesn't work for me either. Attempts to work through the issue with the person originally porting the driver seem to have stalled, but in following current@ it seems as though others are submitting patches for it recently. My advice? Hang in there. at some point the hardware will be supported. It seems to work for several implementations of th 3945abg chipset. I can't assume ours is that drastically different.

I'm not aware of any Marvell-based cards in the retail channels (I have a working driver for their hardware). Atheros is being totally uncooperative in general. Broadcom and Ralink have not shown any interest in the freebsd community (despite being the only system that has working 11n support). Sam
