Wifi for Lenovo Laptop

[Chris]

Hi,


I've tried to search the lists but can't find anything, but please point me to an existing resource if available.

I recently got a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E530 (3259-9VG) laptop and would like to get the Wifi card running (fresh FreeBSD 9.0 install), but I'm failling as it has been at least 5 years since I used with wifi under FreeBSD. The card is not automatically detected (interface not listed in ifconfig) so I'm assuming I have to either load a kernel module or go the NDIS path. It seems like on Windows, the same driver is used for E430, E435, E530 and E535, so in case anyone is using one of these models, please let me know if have things running.

So some questions that might point me in the right direction:

- How can I find out which type of card this laptop actually has (can I read it out of dmesg, some PCI listing or whatever)? 
  All I can find are product sheets saying that it has 11b/g/n, but doesn't help me to find a driver. I
  Is there some "meta-module" that loads all the native wifi drivers that I can use that I can test?
- If I need to use NDIS emulation, does anyone think it will work for this model/card? Windows drivers can be found here http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-and-parts/default.page).
  The handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/config-network-setup.html#CONFIG-NETWORK-NDIS) says I need Win XP drivers, is that old text or do I need that? I can't find XP drivers on the lenovo page...
- If NDIS should be possible, how do I extract the .sys and .inf file from the exe that I downloaded from the URL above (I don't have any Windows machine right now).

TIA,
  Chris
