FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE driver support on Thinkpad T500

[William Bulley]

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.

Regards,
