The card is not automat= ically detected (interface not listed in ifconfig) so I'm assuming I have t= o either load a kernel module or go the NDIS path. It seems like on Windows= , the same driver is used for E430, E435, E530 and E535, so in case anyone = is using one of these models, please let me know if have things running.=0A= =0ASo some questions that might point me in the right direction:=0A=0A- How= can I find out which type of card this laptop actually has (can I read it = out of dmesg, some PCI listing or whatever)? =0A=A0 All I can find are prod= uct sheets saying that it has 11b/g/n, but doesn't help me to find a driver= . I=0A=A0 Is there some "meta-module" that loads all the native wifi driver= s that I can use that I can test?=0A- If I need to use NDIS emulation, does= anyone think it will work for this model/card? Windows drivers can be foun= d here http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-and-parts/default.page).=0A= =A0 The handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/config-netwo= rk-setup.html#CONFIG-NETWORK-NDIS) says I need Win XP drivers, is that old = text or do I need that? I can't find XP drivers on the lenovo page...=0A- I= f NDIS should be possible, how do I extract the .sys and .inf file from the= exe that I downloaded from the URL above (I don't have any Windows machine= right now).=0A=0ATIA,=0A=A0 Chris=0A
