I had the same problem on my HP Pavilion tx1000, and I found a
solution to it. I was upgrading from Gutsy to Hardy, and I am not sure
if this problem persists in a fresh Hardy install as well.

- In /cdrom/pool/main/b you can find the deb for b43-fwcutter
- Copy it to your disk and then run it.
- It should ask "Do I search for the driver myself?". Say no there.
- You should recieve a prompt asking for the .o file of the driver.
- get it from http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o
(use XP :)
- that should make your wireless run (at least it worked for me)

If this doesn't work out, follow instructions from the start from
