HP ProBook 6550b
FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p10
Installation required flipping between BIOS IDE/AHCI setting. After installation, AHCI has been okay.
HP WMI does not fully work.
AC-line disconnect/connect not visible to software. LCD backlight adjustment requires intel_backlight package. 10.3-RELEASE fixed these.
Hard to locate the required firmware for the builtin Qualcomm 3G and wlan NDIS.
I wanted to wire external headphones+mic and builtin speakers+mikes separately to different /dev/pcm devices, but failed to configure snd_hda quite like that. No biggie, I'm happy

Update:
Serial port:
It appears, after some ugly coaxing. /dev/cuau0 eats bytes at the expected speed for 9600 baud, generates expected amount of interrupts while doing so and characters come back when txd and rxd pins are shorted. Yay.
sysutils/acpi_call is needed, and uart(4) must be a module, which is NOT loaded until the following is executed (after every boot)
uart0: <16550 or compatible> at port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa0
The hex data means 0x3f8 (F803, twice) and irq4 (last 10, it's a bitmask).
Dunno what the COMP._ON call does, but the port identifies as a non-std 8250 without it. Maybe it's IrDA-specific.
The related part of DSDT is (2 and 9 index into the hexstring)
Keyboard leds and audio PA:
The fan stopped.
A sensor might have failed, as thermal zone CPUZ shows nothing. Following sets a constant fan speed. 0 off, 60 slow, 100 hair dryer.

- happy camper if you get it for free.
- some incompatibilites. If you are buying, select another
- SSD disk
- graphics (intel)
- keyboard
- mouse
- USB
- ethernet
- bluetooth (btpand and bt speakers tested)
- SD-card
- sound
- 3G & GPS (Qualcomm Gobi 2000, lots of googling required)
serial port (does not show up)- wlan (sort of works with NDIS)
- dock (parallel port shows up, no connector)
- DisplayPort video
- telephone modem
- Fingerprint scanner
- Facefacing camera
- Firewire (interface shows up, everything looks good, no devices to test with)
