HP Mini netbook and Linux

[Matt Shields-4]

Has anyone played with the new HP Mini netbooks? I got one last week and
first loaded Fedora 10, then Fedora 11 and the only problem that I continue
to have is getting the Broadcom wireless to work on it.  Anyone have similar
issues?

Which driver(s) are you trying to use with it? If I'm thinking clearly,
those have a bcm43xx 802.11b/g chip, which may or may not be supported
by the b43 driver (with firmware extracted via b43-fwcutter), and should
also be supported by broadcom's hybrid-wl driver. JABR mentioned having
issues getting b43 working with his 10" Acer Aspire One too, I'm
guessing its the same chip...
