The best way to be sure about the compatibility is to take your laptop
to the computer store and plug in the card of your choice. Some
combinations just make trouble, thats why I recommend it.
well.. that's why I'm asking.
My laptop is HP Compaq 6715s.
For example, I can see lots of iwn(4) pci-e cards on sale,
but all I've seen say in big letters
"not for HP ... laptops".
HP and IBM have BIOS checks that limit which cards can be used.
So I was hoping to hear from somebody who is
using wireless on an amd64 laptop, perhaps even
on 6715s, which, it seems, is quite popular, of
a model that is proven to work ok, either pci-e or
pcmcia.
AFAIK, bwn(4)/bwi(4) should work on amd64.
