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. -Eric On 12/1/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
