Hello currently i'm trying those other kernel versions. I'm grabbing
it from  http://www.kernel.org/

for now i have about 3 kernels running ok or almost ok:

2.6.33.4
2.6.29.6
2.6.31.13

29 and 33 are default packages from slackware, and as i related before
by using 2.6.29.6 i get the perfect functionality of wireless
button/led (those hp machines have the led, and if i touch the led it
changes de color.. nvm)

today i got the 31.13 running; i have to say, maybe i have missed
something, because i lost sound and the 3d stuff. also ath5k.ko wasn't
created... but the bluetooth worked as expected, just as 2.6.29.6; i
am almost sure that i missed the kernel configuration, but fortunately
i've made a package (make targz-pkg) so i can fix it.

next i'll try the 2.6.32.15 and then 2.6.34, and with some hope find
when the problem began and report there.

thanks a lot for the guidance,
