Apologies to double post. Styyle14, you should be able to rmmod /
modprobe to the correct driver with the live CD, unless I'm mistaken on
that... The issue isn't the live CD so much as that it still does not
function out of the box, so that a user who installs Ubuntu will just
assume it does not work.

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 :)
