I'm running FreeBSD on mine and for the wireless I got a Gigabyte GN-WI01GT
MINI PCI Express Card from eBay for about 15 euros and substituted the
pre-installed one - works perfectly.

Only problem is I can get Resume from sleep to work, I tried the FreeBSD
ACPI list for help but no response yet.

If anyone has any ideas why it works on NetBSD but not FreeBSD I'd be
grateful.
