 !!!Compaq Presario M2223AP 
 This laptop (in the M2000 series) has a couple of gotchas for Linux support: 
  
 !!Wireless 
-The wireless chipset (Intel 2200BG) has an open-source driver but it requires closed-source firmware; therefore the driver is not in the standard LinuxKernel.  
-  
-You can download the driver (and the firmware) from http://ipw2200.sf.net, although you will also need to build the ieee80211 support modules which are currently outside of the kernel tree (I think there is a version of them in linux-2.6.13-rc1, so it might be a part of future releases) .  
-  
-Ubuntu Linux (5.04) already comes with support for this wireless card out of the box, so you should be all ready to go. However, the version of the driver that comes with Hoary does not support [WPA ] properly, so either manually compile and install the driver from the above link, or use Ubuntu Breezy (currently in development). See the WirelessNetworkSecurityNotes for more.

+The wireless chipset (Intel 2200BG) works under linux.  
+See the [IPW2x00WirelessChipset ] page for more details
  
 !!Graphics 
 The graphics controller uses an Intel 915GM chipset, which is supposedly supported by [XOrg]'s i810 driver. However, it doesn't seem to be properly supported by the version of Xorg in Hoary, and graphics didn't work out of the box. (!!) GDM starts and runs but nothing is displayed on the [LCD].
