  I just acquired an IBM Thinkpad R51 on which I have installed 8.1 
Release.  I have scoured the handbook and tried a number of different 
combinations in /etc/rc.conf and /boot/loader.conf to get the wireless 
working, but so far with no luck.  Can anyone give me a heads up on 
getting wireless operating on this laptop?

Thanks.
