It seems that the USB communication to this printer does not work. Alone lsusb does not work with it, and dmesg tells me something like "control timeout on ep0in" But this printer is also not listed on HPs compatibility page: http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/productslj.php\

Product has a tendency to fail when transferring large files (>100 MB) Failure chance does seem to be lowered by "warming up" the flash drive (leaving plugged in for a few minutes, transferring a few small files back and forth from flash drive, etc) Product also has a tendency to fail when left plugged in long-term (>4 hours)

Works with TurboPrint for Linux (http://www.turboprint.de/english.html). Unfortunately, this is not free. I have not found any free drivers.

This system was released in August of 2006 (I think), and uses the new core 2 Duo, and I believe a new Intel chipset. Not surprisingly, there are some problems using it with versions of Linux released before that time. Ubuntu 6.06 will load on the system, and most functions did appear to work. However, the onboard ethernet controller (an intel gbit interface) is not detected. I was able to get the system working with an older PCI ethernet card. I also tried test release Ubuntu 6.10 Knot 3. This correctly found the onboard ethernet card, so I assume the official 6.10 release will be fine when it comes out. Sound and USB worked fine. The DVD drive seems to work, but I had a lot of trouble getting the system to boot from the drive. I usually had to hit F12 to go to the boot menu, then tell it to boot from the DVD, which would always fail at least once. If I tried it multiple times, it would eventually work. This may be a problem with my system, I find it hard to believe this applies to all systems.

Debian Lenny Release candidate 2 of the debian installer. I did netinst version of the debian lenny install. I have a sata disk, a GS7600 (nvidia) video card. The install was done Feb 12, 2009 so Lenny (testing) version of Debian is just about to go "stable". Lenny installed perfectly. I have run it for a day with absolutely no issues.

Bult-in Network card on Asus P5B motherboard. Downloaded and installed the r1000 v1.05 driver from the vendor, but the card is not working properly at neither speed 10 or 100 half or full duplex. I have not had the opportunity to test it at speed 1000. The ping times on the local network varies from 0.1 ms to many seconds with a high average. Many packages are lost, so the card is useless in practice.

Works mostly OK. At the time of this writing the WiFi does not work as it use a Atheros chipset not yet supported by MADWIFI. Using NDISWRAPPER did not work for me. The Built-in card reader seems to work but sometimes intermitently would fail to read data properly. However, when I tested with a external card reader it would show the same problems. The sound works with some weirdness in the way it assigns audio channels. I did not test the modem.

This entry is for a C714. - Intel Pentium Dual Core, 15.4" WXGA, WebCam, Atheros Wifi, RTL8139 LAN, Modem, Card Reader, HDA sound, Intel x3100 (965GM) graphics. I notice that C700 series come in a variety of CPU models and WiFi chipsets, etc... so your mileage may vary. Out of the box, CentOS 5.1 was able to recognise the graphcis card with Xorg's i810 driver. Unfortunately the display resolutions are the fixed VESA resolutions (1024x768 being the best). Previous versions of CentOS used the generic VESA driver. The RTL8139 LAN was recognised fine. The card reader was recognised as a USB card reader and worked out of the box. The same can be said about the built-in sound as it was recognised and configured automatically. Finally the CPU was brought up properly, 2 cores being seen by Linux. It works in 64 and 32 bit modes. To get the AR5006 WiFi, I had to compile NDISWRAPPER and use the corresponding Windows driver. http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net The Madwifi http://madwifi.org driver as of 29/01/2008 did not work for me (Hal status 13). The WebCam worked after installing the Linux-UVC driver. http://linux-uvc.berlios.de I did not try the Intel drivers http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/download.html nor the built-in modem.

CentOS 5.2 Open source drivers installed http://www.highpoint-tech.com/BIOS_Driver/rr1740/Linux/rr174x-linux-src-v2.1-080710-1311.tar.gz I had issues with this card whilst the sata_mv kernel module was loaded. Either remove /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/ata/sata_mv.ko or Modify /etc/init.d/hptdriver like so #Unload sas_mv before loading rr174 rmmod sata_mv modprobe rr174x

Bought lot of four IBM NetVista 6794, one would not boot CentOS4 (RHEL4) at all -- froze during both liveCD and install CD. On the other hand, two worked fine no problems. Either one system had flaky hardware, or else there were significant BIOS/motherboard variations through the life of the NetVista 6794 product line and some work with linux and some don't. Amusingly one of the systems had Windows XP refuse to install while CentOS installed fine! Never had that happen before!

I am very pleased with the HP notebooks under Suse 9.3. I've had no compatibility problems and everything works well. The internal NIC is still a Broadcom, so if you're not familiar with ndiswrapper, you might have a struggle getting it to work. Other than that, everything installed fine on one, and had a monitor issue on a second. Telling X to use an LCD 1024x768x60 profile seemed to work fine, however.

Ubuntu made everything work out of the box (so to speak), with the (I suppose) obvious exception of the winmodem. As well, I did not have the opportunity to test the firewire port. (I'd like to note that Windows XP doesn't have proper drivers for this notebook's video card, so Ubuntu's install was much more satisfying!)
