Linux on Compaq Presario Laptop...

> Broadcom 802.11 b/g WLAN

My HP zd7000 has a wireless chip that until recently had no
Linux supported, no thanks to the super-geniuses at BroadCom.
However, I just upgraded the Debian distro on that machine
and was pleasantly surprised to see that there is now a
native driver, so I guess the reverse-engineering project
(bcm43xx.berlios.de) must have made significant progress.
I haven't yet had time to fool with it but it came right up
and immediately started talking to my WRT54Gl.  I'll need to
set up the WEP and stuff before I can get much farther...
