[ale] Upgraded my Lpatop top to FC2

[Jerald Sheets]

Works extrememly well on my HP Pavillion zd7020us (17")

The only thing that didn't was the Broadcom chipset internal 54G Wireless
NIC.

I bought Linuxant's driverloader, and now everything is peachy.

Works out of the box on my dell d600.  
Here is what dmesg says:

mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
serio: i8042 AUX port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12
input: PS/2 Generic Mouse on isa0060/serio1
serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1
