Or search this information in their documents/message boards. I had (almost) the same problem - the card of ThinkPad T530 was not working correctly (Centrino Advanced-N 6205). I bought second hand /Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 FRU 60Y3233/ card to replace it. This card works 'out-of-the-box' on FreeBSD. I suppose that this card could work for you, so if you can find it at ebay (with a possibility to send back if something goes wrong) - you can try ;) Best regards, Peter On 23/05/2023 10:11, Michal Sapka wrote: > Hello > > I am currently using AX200 card.
