Hi! They _should_ suspend/resume ok on freebsd-10.1. If in doubt, try -HEAD on it and we can backport whatever is missing. The iwn(4) wifi support will be better in FreeBSD-HEAD. Noone's backported that to -10 yet. https://wiki.freebsd.org/Laptops/Thinkpad_T530 has some information. (I don't have T520 or T530, so I can't debug it. Having a T530 would be nice; I don't have any Optimus hardware at the moment so I can't really test what's required to make it work out of the box on freebsd.) -adrian On 22 November 2014 at 04:09, PeerCorps Trust Fund <ipc@peercorpstrust.org> wrote: > Dear mobile-users, > > We are considering the acquisition of about 40 Thinkpad laptops intended to be deployed in schools as teaching tools. > > For a significant number of reasons we have selected stock FreeBSD to run on these systems. It is not an absolute deal breaker but we are looking for the Thinkpad model providing the best suspend/resume support under FreeBSD. I've scoured the Internet and have essentially learned that the T520 and the T530 might be the best bet. > > Can others confirm this is still the case under FreeBSD 10.1?
