I'm new to FreeBSD and I'm trying to get the OS running on my laptop. Everything seems to work okay, except for my wireless card. It's an Intel WiFi 1000 series. >From what I've read, most open source OSes don't include the firmware for this device. I'm curious if A) FreeBSD has the drivers/firmware for this card? B) If not, is there anything I can do to help get the required driver/firmware? Thank you, Jesse
