Hi,

I just wanted to confirm that the .27 has ath5k which supports the Eee,
and this should be in Intrepid.

It's working fine on my laptop using the test kernel.

Thanks,

James

The Eee PC has non-working wireless out of the box. A patch is available from the madwifi website:

I'd like to have working wireless in hardy, without having to patch/compile manually :)
