Yes, the Accton 2242 is a dc device, so if it doesn't work as such then there might be other issues. Is it detected by the dc driver? Does it give a reasonable MAC address? The only problem that I've had with it is that it won't autodetect 10baseT/UTP full-duplex, but other that that it works great. The sound is most likely an ESS Allegro-1, so load the snd_maestro3 driver module (it can't be compiled in right now and is not part of snd_driver.ko). The 'Polk Audio System' most likely refers to the speakers, just like on most of the other HP laptops. Don't know about the touch pad, mine works fine with moused.
