Don't know how relevant it is but Fedora 12 works almost perfectly on Asus EEEpc 1005HA which I bought about a year and a half ago. I don't remember the exact details any more (I really should keep a journal on any configuration changes I make), but I think that I had to recompile a module for Wireless and I also have had some problems with wifi being lost on resume, but it that too is working now.
Something working less than perfect is 3D graphics, and I get lots of artifacts when trying to view solid objects. It is also very slow on 3D. Perhaps that has been fixed in later versions. I should reinstall. Let me know if there is anything else that I can help you with.
