[ale] Anyone successfully used build in wireless on HP laptops?

[Jeffrey D. Brown]

I tried and failed to set up ndiswrapper on my ze5500/BCM94306/FC1
several months ago. I ended up purchasing a Linuxant driver, which
worked fine.

FWIW, ndiswrapper has worked flawlessly on the same hardware under SuSE 9.0/9.1.
