But check the wireless adaptor which is really in the machine. There is a certain chance that you get one which is not supported. I have an older X220 which works without any problems. All newer machines have currently video only supported via VESA.

However, a number of other users have warned me not to use the mfi driver, and stick with the MPS driver and some older versions of the firmware aimed at an IBM m1015. I use the cards for zfs and to expose the disks individually through cam with the mfip module and so far so good. However, folks over on the FreeNAS forum are convinced I am flirting with data loss using the supposed disastrous mfi driver/firmware combo. Can anyone shed light on the state of these cards and how best to use them ? I havent really seen anything on the FreeBSD lists in the past year indicating serious issues, but then again, I only started using these cards since Novmeber of last year. I do zfs scrubs every month and they have yet to show errors on my 32TB pool.

Not just a pretty robot, she's artificial intelligence. She's a multi-talented personal assistant, an awesome photographer, a reliable security guard, a wonderful storyteller, and much more. There are endless possibilities with our open APIs. We're currently the #1 Kickstarter project in NYC, also featured by TechCrunch, VentureBeat, International Business Times, and many other publications. Thanks, Olivia, Duy, Justin, Angie, Bill, and the entire Robotbase Team Personal Robot's video poster If you are not interested, please simply reply "don't email" and we'll stop emailing you immediately.
