Hello Michał, I think you should ask Lenovo support for the list of whitelisted cards for your model. Or search this information in their documents/message boards. I had (almost) the same problem - the card of ThinkPad T530 was not working correctly (Centrino Advanced-N 6205). I bought second hand /Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 FRU 60Y3233/ card to replace it. This card works 'out-of-the-box' on FreeBSD. I suppose that this card could work for you, so if you can find it at ebay (with a possibility to send back if something goes wrong) - you can try ;) Best regards, Peter On 23/05/2023 10:11, Michal Sapka wrote: > Hello > > I am currently using AX200 card.

Moreover, I'd love the drivers not to be a blob (like for Intel) but open. This is also something I don't truly understand, so correct me if I'm wrong but if the driver is in /sys/dev of FreeBSD then it means the full driver is there, right? > > But back to the problem: does anyone know of any mSATA Wi-Fi adapter that is working on Lenovo laptops under FreeBSD? > > —- > Michał > https://michal.sapka.me >
