Notes

(*) acpi-V reports "battery won't charge", but it's charing. Reported bug.

(**) with ndiswrapper, with drivers in the installation cd from hp

(***) with bcm43xx, with "driver" from the installation cd from hp

(****) Works with sl-modem-daemon from repos, though a little buggy. For some reason, the daemon is in multiverse so you will need to enable the muliverse repository.
