Notes
Builtin wifi (802.11b/g) is recognized, and driver loaded. But it does not associate with my 802.11b. 'iwlist eth1 scan' returns "unsupported."
Following WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx, the wifi will associate on boot, but never again after ifdown. Scanning works, and continues to work. Used /usr/share/bcm43xx-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh to get firmware.
Following WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Dapper does not improve the situation (the only difference from above is it gives a firmware url to use, which is different than the one chosen by /usr/share/bcm43xx-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh.
3D acceleration does not work. Need to research and try other drivers (ndiswrappers?).
I expected the laptop to have a PCMCIA slot, but it has none. Instead, a compaq special slot ("fast"?).
Need to test the fix to rename eth1 to wlan0 (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=201902)
