This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --------------enig37BD004FB99F67CF8F229F34 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On 07/12/2011 05:34, Ammar Shaarbaf wrote: > Are there any FreeBSD drivers for Acer Aspire 3610? >=20 This is the closest hardware match I could find: http://laptop.bsdgroup.de/freebsd/index.html?action=3Dshow_laptop_detail&= laptop=3D12882 Drivers in FreeBSD are generally described in terms of the specific components (motherboard chipset, NIC, SATA controller, etc. etc.) rather than in terms of a specific whole machine produced by a manufacturer. Laptops are particularly tricky in this regard, and if no-one else has reported on your particular model, generally the best procedure is to try booting the device using a USB or CD-Rom image, and see what does and doesn't work.
