--ONdxGLNAH97Mj7h0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable My current laptop -- a Dell Precision M4800, documented at <https://wiki.freebsd.org/Laptops/Dell_Precision_M4800?highlight=3D(\bCateg= oryLaptop\b)> -- will have been enduring my abuse for 3 years as of March, so I have recently bought a shiny new Dell Precision 5520 (shipped running some flavor of Linux, so Dell has evidence that there's a market for non-MS-Windows laptops). I've pulled the supplied drive and swapped in one I had last updated 08 July 2017; I did a verbose boot into single-user mode and copied output of several commands to a USB drive, and have placed copies of those files up on my Web server, at <http://www.catwhisker.org/~david/FreeBSD/5520/>. One of the "sticking points" so far is that the wireless device is: none6@pci0:2:0:0: class=3D0x028000 card=3D0x00508086 chip=3D0x24fd8086 rev=3D0x78 hdr=3D0x00 vendor =3D 'Intel Corporation' device =3D 'Wireless 8265 / 8275' class =3D network (and I'm not sure about the "wired Ethernet" -- rather than a jack in the body of the laptop, Dell supplies a "Thunderbolt" dongle). Anyway: I'm hoping to get the new machine functional enough that I can migrate to it in time to still be able to send the m4800 off for final warranty repair -- I think I loosened a heat sink or two when I slipped on some "black ice" about a year ago whlie cycling to work.
