All the Centrino systems I've seen use a miniPCI card. Pretty good marketing on Intel's part, since everyone is under the impression it's built into the system board! -Tony -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Kevin Oberman Sent: Friday, May 09, 2003 12:16 PM To: Cliff L.

The only two Centrinos I've looked at use a mini-PCI Intel/PRO wireless card. At least one vendor offers a Cisco card as an alternative (which makes it non-Centrino.) R.
