Hi folks,

I'm currently running Slackware 7.0 on my Dell Inspiron 7000, and I've
reached the end of my tether with Lin[s]ux. I need to switch to my
beloved FBSD...

However, I've been out of the BSD scene for about 3 years, and am not
familiar with the current state of laptop support, especially in the
most recent versions of FBSD.

My needs are simple, I don't need APM or any other of the fancy
laptop-specific stuff. This is what I want/need to work:

   - 1024x768x16 on the 15" LCD display
   - 3Com 3CCFE575 Cyclone CardBus 10/100 PCMCIA NIC

That's pretty much it. I've looked through the freebsd-mobile archives,
and I read that in April someone was asking about the same card, and the
consensus was that there is no current support. What about now?

Please, folks - I'm desperate to switch back! I've got my FBSD CDROM at
the ready, I've backed up all my data. I'm poised, ready to install as
soon as someone tells me I can make this work! 

What's the bottom line?

Thanks *much* in advance,
/ric|<t
