[geeks] FreeBSD Laptop

[Andrew Jones]

I thought laptop firmware usually hardcoded the list of acceptable 
wireless cards, in order to prevent a non-compliant antenna/card 
configuration from being installed.

At least, that's what I was told the last time I tried to do this.  I 
ended up buying a replacement card that precisely matched an alternative 
configuration shipped by the manufacturer.
