If so, did you need to do anything special to make it work? Any tips, tricks or hints I should try? Or should I just wait for FreeBSD 5.3 to come out and hope it works? Or should I file a PR? Well, I haven't tried FreeBSD on my Centrino-based machine but use Linux on it with no problem, as far as every day operation goes. Wireless networking is a little unreliable but still very usable. I use a 2.6 kernel. If I had another machine of the same type, I would try FreeBSD for you - not heard of anyone doing so though. -- Phil Reynolds o ____ mail: phil@tinsleyviaduct.com |L_ \ / Web: http://www.tinsleyviaduct.com/phil/ (_)- \/ Waltham 67, Emley Moor 69, Droitwich 79, Windows 95
