HP DV4-2153 laptop

problem: 7.2-Release doesn't detect either network device.

Just picked up a HP DV4-2153 laptop from Costco. I don't know how new it is; 
but it may be fairly new. In the store I was able to determine the wireless 
device to be Atheros. I don't know what the wired device is. I never booted 
WinD'OH!s on the machine. I just loaded it up with FreeBSD 7.2-R.

Anyway:
1) Has anybody had success with this particular laptop?
2) Are there any tricks for determining the network devices? I tried 
kldload-ing every network device and had no luck.

 What did you do? the man holding the flashlight asked.

 I put down a spider, he said, wondering why the man didn't see; in the beam 
of yellow light the spider bloated up larger than life. So it could get away.

Possible being an N chip its the newer ath9k which i had a similiar problem
under linux, but finally after getting the ath9k module loaded i could see a
card was there, then a simple ifconfig wlan0 up and iwconfig wlan0 power
auto under linux got it live. so id suspect something comparable to
FreeBSD would work, provided theres a drive which i believe there is might
also work for you
