My T500 has Intel 5300 (AGN) wifi hardware on-board, but it is not detected by any of the FreeBSD wireless device drivers I found in the GENERIC kernel. I have rebuilt my kernel with all the wireless device drivers listed in the GENERIC kernel and am running 7.2-STABLE. Would it do any good to upgrade to 8.0-STABLE, or am I out of luck with this particular piece of wireless hardware? If so, I am hoping that Lenovo designed the T500 with a removable wifi module so that I might (possibly) replace it with one supported by the ath(4) driver. Thanks in advance.
