Hi, all-

I have a ZE4325US H&P pavillion laptop which I want to get fully 
operational on Linux, including wireless capability. I currently have it 
loaded with Mandrake 9.2. Because of the fiendishly proprietary design 
of the laptop, it appears that I will need to install a new, vanilla, 
non-distro kernel, and patch it with the ACPI patch, the Omnibook patch, 
possibly a PCMCIA patch, and install a Prism driver to get everything 
working.

All of this is relatively new territory for me, so it will be a learning 
experience, but possibly not a brief or terribly happy one. Should I use 
the "oldconfig" or should I just start from scratch?

I could use some helpful hints if anyone has such to offer.

All constructive suggestions are appreciated!
