Both Wireless card and Bluetooth have been known to work. Is your
presario an R3000 or R4000?

There is more than one version of the Wireless card (between both the
R3000 and R4000 series - the particular card in the laptop is not
necessarily series dependent), so you may have to try two different
Windows drivers. There is the bcm43xx Linux drivers in the kernel. To
use them you must extract the firmware from the Windows drivers. There
is also ndiswrapper that can use the Windows drivers to provide
wireless support. The preferred method is bcm43xx, but you may need to
use ndiswrapper instead for a feature or two.

As far as the Bluetooth, it just works. On the R3000, I believe that
it just used in-kernel drivers and it was all rather painless (I set
it up a while back). I do not know if others have had too many issues
with the Bluetooth.

I can provide links to the two wireless drivers and help you out if
something is not working, but I am short on time at the moment, so
that will have to happen later.
