Arun,

I suspect that the T40 uses a Symbol (or maybe Broadcom) based WiFi
card and neither is supported at this time due, primarily, to the lack
of documentation on the card.

You can plug most nay min-PCI card in its place, Last I looked, the
T40 was available with a Cisco card as well as the standard card. The
Cisco card is supported by FreeBSD. So are other mini-PCIs which are
based on the Prism 2.5 chip.
