Yes, it should work.

I have installed SuSE on an HP XE2 laptop,
and had it running with a combo PCMCIA ethernet/modem card.
That was a 3Com card, which I no longer have.

Best advice I have for you is to go to Morgans on New Oxford Street.
Last time I looked they were selling PCMCIA modem/ethernet cards which will
work with Linux, for around 50 quid.
There - found it on their pages. It is the Linksys model.
IIRC, if you do a web search on this card it will confirm that the modem
works well under Linux.

BTW, there is an email group specifically for Linux on HP laptops.
do a Google to find it.
