WIFI is not working in ASUS 1005 PX- Ubuntu netbook Remix

[basubunan]

I've bought a Asus EEEpc 1005 PX and trired to install Ubuntu netbook. But I found that wifi is not working. It's not detecting the wifi cards.
I tried ifconfig, and it is showing me,

ETH0 and L0 only.

When I tried LSPCI it's showing me
Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Atheros AR8132/L1c Gigabit ethernet adapter (rev c0)
Network Controller: Atheros Communication inc. Device 002c (rev 01)

I'm a newbie here. Please tell me how can i set up the wifi here.

(I tried with Meego, and Meego detected the wireless autometically..But I want to use Ubuntu)

Make sure you have access to internet and do this at the terminal


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic
sudo reboot

basubunan,
How did you install Ubuntu on Asus Eee PC 1005PX?
I have the same netbook.

This is what I did:
1) I downloaded the .iso image,
2) created a USB drive
3) Started ASUS boot manager, changed Boot Priority to 1) Removable dev. 2) ATAPI-CD (which I do not have) 3) HDD.
4) Disabled boot booster
5) Inserted USB
6) restarted

The system loaded WIndows 7

How do I get it to boot from USB?

I have found out a way to boot from a USB stick:

I tried it on ASUS Eee PC 1005PX.
It works!
