Basically because I have more or less the same hardware as you and mine
works, have you looked at:

http://www.linux-laptop.net/
http://wwwhome.cs.utwente.nl/~berensch/compaq.html

I *have* to add, that I'm running Red Hat 7.2 with many updates. I
*have* to add that I compile my own kernels from kernel.org, my latest
version is 2.4.19 with the sourceforge ACPI patch. Marc Berenschot's
(see above url) sound patch is not necessary with my present kernel.

Mostly i use kppp, but wvdial works more stably (but is less pretty and
there's no accounting).

At present I'm running the HSF 02110301 tar.gz driver with hsfconfig
--nvram and no complaints (to speak of). 'uptime' gives me "up 11 days,
15:10,  6 users" at the moment, simply because I haven't had to shut
down the notebook to take it to any client.

Best,

Tony
