Compaq Presario 2200 and Xubuntu 9.04

September 1, 2009 by tibor 

This is a 5 years old laptop. 1.4Ghz Celeron with 226MB RAM. Pretty ancient and slow.

It works perfectly well with Xubuntu 9.04, there is a wireless Broadcom BCM4306  802.11b/g rev 3 wifi card in it. I had to manually enable the restricted driver under, Applications, System, Hardware Drivers and then reboot.

At that point, wifi, sound, suspend and hibernate all worked perfectly. :-)
