I think we should update the page to reflect that. It might be
worthwhile keeping a page on laptops that are known to work. I know
thats not the target for this community but at the same time if
developers can run on their laptop/desktop, we get better
stability :)

Can anyone point me *bsd sources where we need to pull the relevant
iwp firmware code from? Not have much time but I kind of liked
this t520p with the native 1920x1080 resolution so would love to
get it to work.

Cheers,
