For the ages (and anyone who is looking for this answer via a search
of a mailing list)
This product WILL work with FreeBSD 4.4 and XFree86 4.1.0.6
Mostly.
Gotja 1:
It will not boot *IF* you probe the USB port. Or, load USB later in
the boot. This linux-centric page makes a reference to changing the probe
order to probe the USB 1st, then the PCMCIA.

So to make it work, you have to not activative the USB.
(I do not know if changing the boot order will work with FreeBSD)
The wireless comes up as wi0, so it should work.
Gotja 2:
Getting X up and running. Never had a painless laptop yet.
using xf86config
Select bus mouse
Select 6 as the Horz
Select vert custom 40-70
select 506 as the video card
I limited the video to 1024, and used 16 bit color depth
The hard drive comes out by turning the screw-head you can turn with a
quarter, and slides right out. The machine works with a 20 gig drive no
problem.
