For what it's worth, I have a different model HP with the same card, and 
it is working great with the rt2x00pci driver in 2.6.40-4.fc15.  I just 
installed Fedora last week on the box, and whatever kernel that came 
with the installation didn't work, but my first update after the install 
completed fixed the issue.
