If I may ask, what was the model of the HP? I'm guessing it has the Broadcom chipset? How did you end up getting it to work?
I have a Compaq 2598 with the integrated Broadcom G wireless and I had to buy Linuxant's driverloader to get it to work. The NDIS wrapper project failed me. ATM I'm dual-booting winblows/ SUSE 9.2, but the SUSE power mgmt is giving me fits. I've been playing with KUbuntu on my test desktop and really like it. (Not trying to start window manager war, I just prefer KDE over Gnome) ;-) If suspend et al works I'd be willing to try it on the lappy. Thanks!
