Question #47591 on Ubuntu Eee changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-eee/+question/47591

    Status: Open => Answered

itsme proposed the following answer:
Have you had an EFI partition on your original 1000H?
I've had exactly the same symptoms ("iwlist ra0 scan" showed me the available WLANs but I got no "connection" between the 1000H and my WiFi router). After I accidentally reinstalled the EFI partition
(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Firmware_Interface) and again reinstallation of eeebuntu it worked out of the box.
Still, I'm not sure if there is any relation between the EFI partition and working components of my 1000H, but EFI is very much related to firmware stuff and wireless chips too!

Hope you made some backups before!

Good luck!
