Large sections are identical to OpenBSD or modified to suit. There is also some inherent verbosity in the code I'd like to move to a debug sysctl or something. It works fine for now, but it's not long-term elegant. PCI attach works well, and I haven't had any issues using it yet. However, the Wifi led on this thinkpad does not light, but that seems to depend on whether the card is Led + & -, or Led + & RFkill GPIO. Now I have a desktop freebsd machine, which means more vertical space on monitor, which hopefully means organizing a few thousand lines of code better :). I would not mind at all having more experienced eyes look at it and help bring it up to snuff. Thanks, Matt
