I still haven't solved wifi on my HP ZV6100 laptop, so I wonder 
if I could also replace its Broadcom wifi card with a different 
card and finally get wifi to work on it?  What do you think? 

Our daughter has the same problem trying to get Linux wifi to work 
on an HP 4000m, so we're still looking for solutions for both of 
our HP laptops.  Mine has an Athlon processor, her's is Intel.
