Yea I know I was trying to google and search their web page... it is pretty frustrating.

Digging around leads me to believe it might use a BroadCom chipset for the wired Ethernet.... but that's all I can find.

Unless someone owns that exact system, (possibly a different revision/model), you won't find a definitive answer... the only "absolute" way of knowing if it's supported is to boot OpenBSD and see if everything is detected.

That's my advice..
I might just to on misc and ask if anyone has the exact system then.

EDIT:

After some Googling, it seem somebody who had exactly the same laptop posted its detail, it had Broadcom BCM5901 100Mbps NIC... as for graphics it has Intel 82852/855GM graphics chipset.

So I guess NIC is BCM590x which is supported by the bge(4) driver as far as OpenBSD goes?
