there is no general answer.

You must select an individual model first and see then if the hardware is supported.

I use normally FreeBSD 7 or 8 but I installed Fedora on a single machine as there is no driver for the LAN available in FreeBSD.

If I remember right, wireless was not a problem there.

So, choose a model and ask then again.

Ok, I have FreeBSD 7 running on an older Fujitsu Lifebook. 8.0 gave me problems with USB.
