Hi Daniel,
My Asus eee 1000H shows the networks, asks me for the key to my router and I
type this exactly as I should and it fails to connect but again asks me for

You are right, it's a bit of a botch fix, but it seems quite a lot of
people are getting a black screen and, from what I could gather, it's a
kernel problem with older machines. Which really isn't good if your
black screen PC is your only PC! :(
