Many thanks - this works (EeePC 900). There were two slight problems -
you have to remove the quote marks and re-type them if you cut and
paste and the WiFi was turned off in the bios during this process and
had to be turned on again. It now works fine.

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