Also tested Intrepid alfa 5 on Eee PC 701, 512MB / 4GB Wireless still does not work out of the box, but with a minimal change it does.
Just blacklist the ath_pci module and reboot. Wireless will be working with no problem. To blacklist the module: $ sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist Then, add this line to the file: blacklist ath_pci -- Atheros wireless (AR5007) not working on various laptops, including the ASUS Eee PC https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182489 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu EEEPC, which is a direct subscriber.
