Hello all,
following the suggestion of Ben Armstrong, I'll give some info on this
subject and ... ask for some more!
I tried to get it work but the problem seems to be that Ethernet and
WIFI are again different from "older" models.
I couldn't get it work with the specific nor the standard installer
(from debian-eeepc). Neither are working (WIFI and ethernet).
I finally found the 'debianEeepc Live' image for USB key and this time,
WIFI is OK (using ath9k) : I'm using WPA with pass-phrase on a netgear
AP . I get 54 Mb/s working (2.6MB/s sustained transfer rate with scp),
in managed mode. The ESSID is discovered and the dialog is ok ("wext" as
application for WPA-supplicant - default values).
Unfortunately, the Ethernet card is not working, despite the 2.6.29 kernel.
One strange thing : I had to boot twice. The first boot hanged on some
process, but the second was ok.
Do you have any clue to make a fresh install with the 2.6.29 kernel? I
tried the Debian "testing" but it seems that it uses a 2.6.26. May be I
should try the "unstable"???
If anybody has a clue, I would be happy to give it a try ... I spent a
few hours trying those different options, before I post this.
Thanks ahead,
Laurent
