I finally took the time to get everything on my HP Special Edition L2000 laptop working - sans modem, which I have no way of testing, and the multi-card reader, which I'm informed is definitely unsupported.

Previously, ndiswrapper worked, so I could get the internal wireless card working, but only in 32-bit mode; this is now working in 64-bit mode. Also, suspend works, under both the original kernel and the newly-released update.
