This is actually going to be your best bet. Doing a quick check on HP's website, it turns out that the " 54g(TM) 802.11b/g WLAN w/ 125HSM/SpeedBooster(TM)" is actually a Broadcom wireless card. It doesn't get more annoying than that. ndiswrapper is your only free* option, but you will need to make sure the following packages are installed: kernel source gcc As long as you have those, everything should go fine. * use of the term free is more towards the free as in beer due to the stickyness of the situation with wrapping windows drivers -- Scott Paul Robertson http://spr.mahonri5.net GnuPG FingerPrint: 09ab 64b5 edc0 903e 93ce edb9 3bcc f8fb dc5d 7601
