Giacomo, I suppose your eee pc doesn't contain an Atheros wifi card, like mine. It can contain an other wifi card. You can verify that with the "lspci" command. If that doesn't give you something named Atheros, you don't have an Atheros card. My eee contains a RaLink card, which needs the rt2860sta driver. That driver is not included in Ubuntu yet, even in backports, but it is included in Ubuntu-eee. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/210725 for more info on the RaLink driver.
