Just to remember that, besides "project evil" there exists a native
BSD driver for the wifi chip in Centrino laptops, under BSD licence,
which can be found here:

By the way the same author has a native driver for some USB DSL modems
which can be of interest at least for european users:

I have personnally used this driver under FreeBSD-5, it works OK.
The ipw driver relies on the net80211 framework from FreeBSD-5, which 
has not been committed... so this doesn't work yet. I believe it's on 
Joerg's list. He's got patches to bring it in at 
ftp://dragonflybsd.dyndns.org/patches/unapplied/.

(I haven't gotten around to patching mine yet though, but he say's it's 
working, asides from BPF support (and thus DHCP).)

(Also, it's nice to see someone else with a T40... if you find a way 
around the suspend crash please let me know :)
