Hm. <http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0802.2/0476...> states that the eee has an ath5007; <http://madwifi.org/wiki/About/OpenHAL> doesn't list it as supported, and <http://gentoo-wiki.com/Asus_Eee_PC_701> confirms that it's not exactly functional yet (having to reboot to turn the wireless off/on is hardly a killer but not very nice either). Has this changed very recently or something?

Eee PC hardware Posted Feb 21, 2008 3:12 UTC (Thu) by xoddam (subscriber, #2322) [Link] I see my initial response wasn't so excellent after all :-( Sorry. I guess my googling was insufficiently thorough, or I misread something. I certainly didn't think to double-check chipset revision numbers. On seeing these links, my initial feeling is that I should *help* fill the gap in OpenHAL, but I don't know the first thing about wifi internals ... by the time I get up to speed (in the meantime trashing my 100% working toy), someone else will likely have finished the job. So the real question is, how hardcore a geek do I want to be, today? Is this a challenge I'm inexorably called to? And the answer is ... not much. I like my eee as it is. I have no call to hassle LKML with dmesgs from my tainted kernel :-/
Eee PC hardware Posted Feb 21, 2008 7:38 UTC (Thu) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] My attitude is, hey, it's not very expensive, and this gives me an excuse to learn enough kernel hacking/reverse-engineering fu to help :)
