I have not tried the script -- I didn't know about it until I was already in deep trouble. 
Seriously, here's what I did, and it's not that difficult:
1. Installed madwifi driver as per:
http://wiki.eeeuser.com/ubuntu#wireless … fi_drivers
"Wireless Internet using native Madwifi drivers"
However, the new better-working "snapshot" tarball is "madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r3698-20080604.tar.gz" from the archive here:
http://snapshots.madwifi.org/special/
2. Configured wireless as per:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/Wifi
and used "WPA supplicant in roaming mode"
except you have to change the driver name from "wext" to "madwifi".
That's it. And it's working very well.  |

very thanks, it was simple! 
i tried the same thing but it didn't work, now it works.
do you know how to use wicd?
it was perfect but now it has a problem, and every time you reboot, you have to reinstall it, if not, it doesn't start...  |

No, I went straight to the madwifi driver and wpa supplicant method, and since it worked I didn't go any further. |

| Has anyone tried this on an Eee 700 2G Surf? I have one and I'd like to put the new Xfce version of sidux on it as I don't really like the default Xandros install. I have used the USB installer to install it to a USB flash drive and it will boot fine from that, but I'm reluctant to go ahead and install it on the Eee unless I know it will work fine. I'm not sure if it uses the same wireless adapter as the 4G version so I am concerned about whether I can get it going. |

what about a minimal sid install and then a debian > sidux convert?
why it's no more supported? |

| The question is why you want to do it? It is much more easier to install sidux directly. |

because it uses a lot of space installing a lot of programs (even kde-lite version)....
with a debian netinstall you can install only what you want... |

From my experience, it will be a challenge to keep the installed OS under 2.0GB filesystem size. I think it is possible, but ....
If the 2G has a SDHC card reader, like the 4G 701, then I would buy a 8GB or 16GB SDHC card and not worry about the filesystem size. |

Hi All,
I've been reading your thread and I am about to get a Asus eee 900, but I'm forced to use dialup when at work. Does anyone have any experiences with the usb dialup modems that are currently available?
Thankx in advance |

Analogue 56k/ V92bis modem or ADSL?
Some analogue V92bis USB modems are supported by the generic cdc-acm (like my >10 years old Microlink 56k USB), others are "winmodems" that won't work under linux. |

@slh
thanks for your input...I think I found what I need here. 56K old time phone line modem.

It's controller based and small enough to carry around with the Asus eee |

Thanks. I already have a 4GB one, but it'd probably be worthwhile getting a larger one. I've already got sidux Xfce on a flash drive and it'll boot from that fine, just will need to install the wireless drivers to get it working. |

| 4 GB is enough. On my 4G 701 with 4GB SSD, I have sidux 2008-01 with OOO and Firefox 3 and still have 1.3 GB to spare. |

Since kernel 2.6.26.1.slh.4-sidux-686 you can use ath5k instead of madwifi with your atheros using eeepc. You should run:
Code:
apt-get purge madwifi-tools
modprobe ath5k
