Hi Podsgrove, I really understand what you mean. I told my friends too to buy HP because before it was always running smooth with all available Linux distros. But this is crazy. Two HP 455 Laptops with these stupid wifi adapters. As if there were not other adapter avail.
I just hope this will change soon or I will to advice my friends to switch brand too.
