Help with HP Pavilian - Again

[sdf at alum.rpi.edu]

HP Pavilian dv8280us CoreDuo T2400 2G RAM, wireless card (which does
work in XP). Just installed FC-6. Everything seems to work properly
except the wireless network card. (I have yet to try a modem-based
connection, but I expect it to work as I had that working in FC-4.) FC-4
had had a problem seeing (hearing? ;-) ) the audio card but eventually
'found' it; with FC-6 installed it found it right away.

I desparately wanna get this thing working! TIA for all help. 

Steve
