Well, I would do that but I currently do not have the option of using ethernet, which ironicly enough does work. I only have wireless so I either have to find the driver, stick it onto a flashdrive and bring it over to the vinux install to install it or something of the sort. I did actuallly find the driver for the wireless, put it on a flashdrive and tried to install it after booting into vinux and installing. I then ran into dependencies issues so it's finding what the drivers need to install. Just keeps getting ore fun, lol. Thannks for getting back. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nimer Jaber" <[email protected]>

It could possibly be a matter of drivers. Just for kicks, have you tried updating your OS? It is possible that wireless drivers could have been added or modified in an update. And, have you tried using different wireless settings in the GUi?

Thanks

Hello and thanks for getting back. It seems that the problem is that the device is not showing up. if in a terminal, using iwconfig to see the wireless devices, it does not show any wireless devices so I am thinking it's a matter of drivers.

Hello list. I have noticed that some of us have taken the time to go out and get these wonderful little computers do to there price and size. I got me a asus eeepc 1000h netbook which I can say I absolutely love but am having an issue when I am running vinux, live on it. of corse, the best way to get it going in the first place is to install vinux on a flashdrive which I did and boots just fine. Problem is getting the wireless to worrk. I do not have the option currently to use ethernet so wireless is the way I have to go. I am not good enough at linux unfortunitly to see what the problem may be. Perhaps it's drivers I need, perhaps it's something else. If anyone has ever tried something like this and had better luck, any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
