HP Compaq nx7400 on LINUX Fedora Core 6.
Almost everything is working out of the box. The exception is Intel wireless network card. You need to install drivers for specific kernel. Here is the link to the drivers' page: http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/.There are all the instructions for installation and links to rpm's for desired kernel for Fedora Core 6.
One needs a script which should be run in the process of initiation of the system. This script should be put into /etc/rc.d/init.d/ catalogue and register as a service in the Services proces(one should chooses from menu: System->Administration->Serwer Administration->Services) and register script as one of the services. This will start wireless network before initiation all the services(like: dns,smtp,mail etc...) what is needed for proper work of these services. Of course it is available classical network card(ethernet) out of the box if you don't need wireless network.
Here is the script(I have made some modifications but I am not the author of the script):
#!/bin/bash
#
# ipw3490d Load / unload Intel ipw3490 daemon
#
# chkconfig: 2345 09 90
