I am not sure if this is related . I am using Debian sid on EEE 901 . I actually dist upgraded from lenny to sid . When I was using lenny the wireless was just fine . But problems did start with sid. Inorder to avoid the broken drivers when I feel the need of wireless ( which is rare) I boot to 26.1 or 26.2 just for the sake of wireless . Here are my observations : *26.2 doesn't work :( *26.1 works some times. * The wifi driver sometimes can't set the SSID even after specifying it manually via iwconfig * There is a "luck by chance" that it could auto detect wifi and connect ( dhclient ) So what do you guys suggest ? Install that broken driver in 30 kernel and just be careful ot to turn off wireless ? Or is there a easier solution( heard 28 or 29 kernel works ?? ) ?
