After looking at dhd's config I think my problem may be just due to
stupidity on my part. I don't know anything about hp's and have just had
my hp for about three days now. Knowing nothing about hp's I just used
the default config for linux and that is prob where the problem is.
Anyway I will compile a new kernel and get back to you on this.

Thanks,
James
