Wow, that's very strange Timo, have tested it on 2 separate installs in
my eeepc 901, and neither is an issue. Which bios version are you
running, and is it (originally) the Linux or Windoze version of the
eeepc 901? I recall there was some very weird behaviour with some of the
bios versions...

Re wireless, this has been increasingly hard to troubleshoot. Seems to
work for awhile, then slows to a crawl. The way to 'fix' it seems to be
turning the wireless off via the keyboard shortcut Timo used, Fn+F2,
then back on again the same way. Seems to be working... then sometimes
it's not.

Any advice on what to troubleshoot, and when?

Will try these commands next time I notice difficulties:
iwconfig wlan0
nm-tool

Also, what's the wpasupplicant, and how do I use it? Cheer.
