   Hi   
   What HP's? Sounds like broadcom devices?   
      
   /sbin/lspci -nnk | grep -A3 Network   
      
   Use the broadcom-wl and broadcom-wl-kmp-default packages from the   
   packman repo. Also make sure initrd is rebult to ensure the in kernel   
   drivers are blacklisted properly.   
      
   Have a fairly new HP 255 G4 which runs the a broadcom device. Else if   
   push comes to shove get a USB device that has the atheros chipset   
   (ath9k kernel module).
