What you want to know
Everything works pretty well out of the box with Intrepid (8.10), except for these minor annoyances:
- Suspend to ram
The kernel boot option i8042.reset has to be used for suspend to ram to work. It must be added to the Grub menu.lst file, in /boot/grub.
See message #15 in this thread for more details: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1047284&page=2
- Wifi card
The internal card works out of the box (so there's nothing to install) with the quite new (when Intrepid was released) ath9k driver: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k
The only minor thing is that the wifi button, on the upper part of the keyboard, doesn't work. Not a big deal... Maybe it will work in a future ath9k version.
Also, I didn't manage to have ndiswrapper work with this card, using the Windows drivers provided by HP: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=2093&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=ca&lang=en&product=3828098
Good luck!
