which is out of an hp, and, as the 43xx chipset is supported will work fine,
as long as you're happy with 802.11b only.
I didn't think they were the same thing... but then there's 'Card Bus'
and 'PCMCIA' so I thought I'd just check. :)
I had to laugh at the link you provided... My HP has a broadcom chip in
it and that's the problem.
(Yes I know the link wasn't intentional... I just thought it was funny
that we were talking about just this thing and coincidence struck!)
To make the massive assumption that HP *only* use brand X wifi cards is pretty
silly IMO. Builders use the most cost-effective solution at the time of
building. You may have read in my answer to CS that you even have to check the
*revision number* on D-Link cards to see what chipset they're using.
Steve you're quite right. I agree with what you're saying...
My view is tainted by the fact that HP pissed me off!
They do all this promotion about how they support linux and then when I
purchased a product... it has problems.
It's my fault. I didn't do enough research before I got the machine.
