Finally -- OpenSuSE 11.4 supports my little HP's hardware with only a small amount of screaming and general abuse required. Actually, it doesn't need any beating -- just one-click installing the appropriate rt5390 packages from the builds site. To say that I'm happy with this arrangement would be an understatement.
So far I notice that the support for the Synaptics ClickPad is much nicer than in Windows. KNetworkManager is fiddly as usual, and I'm generally not used to OpenSuSE, but I'm happy to get used to it if it means finally having a portable Linux system again. \o/
