John,
No specific experience with the HP, but my IBM T41 has centrino and ATI
Radeon 9000. I used ndiswrapper (http://ndiswrapper.sf.net) to get the
wireless working, although with RH9 you have to use v0.3 unless you
compile your own kernel. I downloaded the ATI driver and it works fine,
much faster than the xfree one which I used initially.
Cheers,
Ian
