Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN & Bluetooth Hi Neal, I have a similar laptop (Compaq R3000Z) and FC3 runs very nicely on it. The Broadcom wireless does not work with the x86_64 version yet, but it seems that support should be coming soon. If you click on the "Help me decide" link on HP's website for the Wireless, it looks like the SpeedBooster is also a Broadcom chipset. You might want to check out the following list for linux on the R3000/zv5000: http://lists.pcxperience.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxr3000 There has been some talk recently about Linuxant having a working wrapper for the 64-bit driver. People have reported mixed sucess, but it seems the trend is that this will be fixed, at some point. If you want to run the i386 version, ndiswrapper should work just fine with the 32-bit Windows drivers. Jonathan
