This is on a HP Pavilion zv6015us laptop. The only problem I has was
getting the wireless working. Loading bcm43xx froze the system. I went
back to ndiswrapper which had a less dramatic stability problem that
went away with the 1.43 version. I also went to the current kernel from
kernel.org since that way the laptop's SD card reader works.
Cheers,
Dave
