Re: HP OmniBook 6000



Yup.  I've got an OmniBook 6000 and an OmniBook 500, both
running Debian potato (more or less).  The modem is -- rather
unfortunately -- a winmodem (I'm trying to get that fixed).
The PCI LAN uses the 3c59x "Vortex" driver.  This driver can
be found in kernels >= 2.2.18, I believe (you may have to
turn on the "show me experimental drivers" switch to see it).

I'd also suggest http://www.swiss.ai.mit.edu/projects/omnibook
for all sorts of other goodies for this machine.
