Angström and Wi-Fi

Hi,

I just booted with the live image
``Angstrom-x11-image-liveramdisk-2007.12-hx4700'' on my Hp Hx 4700. I
was really satisfied of the quality of this live image, but I
encounter a major problem:
* My Hx 4700's Wi-Fi is not recognized at all by Angström.

I read everywhere on the Internet that there was no problem with Hx
4700's (apparently well-supported) Wi-Fi. Is there somebody out here
who encounters this same problem?

Thanks.

Okay, it was pretty straightforward:

$ /sbin/modprobe hx4700-acx
$ /sbin/modprobe acx debug=0

After the second command, the LED should light and wlan0 should be
available e.g. via ifconfig:

$ /sbin/ifconfig

[snipped]
wlan0 [...]
