Tested my EEE Pc 4G with Intrepid Alpha 5. Wireless still not working
out of the box. I attached the full dmesg but I think the relevant part
is:

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 :)
