Re: [Bug 182489] Re: Atheros wireless (AR5007) not working on various laptops, including the ASUS Eee PC

 

The best solution at the moment seems to be installing Adam McDaniel's
kernel (linux-image-2.6.27-7-eeepc). This works perfectly on an eee PC
900.

You can download it from:

http://www.array.org/ubuntu/index.html

If you follow his instructions it is simple to set up.

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 :)
