I have R400 but some chips are common in these laptops. Alex, for sound try this: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=12910 Wireless cards can be different in the same model. I think most popular for Lenovo are Broadcom and Intel. My is Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5100AGN so iwn driver works fine. From what is on http://www.lapspecs.com/wiki/lenovo+g550 it looks that it should be supported but without having it running you can't be sure. There are many examples where the same model can have totally different parts inside. Maciek
