Asus eee pc 1000h wireless problem

[bo3skoor]

hello there,

recently, I have installed ubuntu 8.10 on a usb hard drive. when I boot the computer form the ubuntu usb I can't get the wireless to work. actually the machine can't even see the wireless adapter.

some of the hotkey don't work either. I mean I can't even disable/enable the wireless card using the keyboard(Fn+F2).
Recording sound is not working too.

I know that this is a forum and I know there is a search tool in the forum but what I don't know is that some 1 like you will answer me.

the good thing for everybody is not to act as they are being smart when they r not.

I'm here because I'm new to Linux and ubuntu. So the polite act is to help me or otherwise stay relaxed (you know what I mean)


again anybody can help me with the issue.

just to make things clear i'm using eee pc 1000H


this is the output i get from the terminal:


RaLink Device 0781
Attansic Technology Corp. L1 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev b0)

i tried looking for an answer or even some body with similar to what i have but no chance. Ethernet is not working. so I can't start to do the rest of the steps apart from sending my kids shopping

I am not sure on why wired network does not work out of the box, it does for me on the 1000h. Is your network manager running?


NetworkManager


Another solution would be to follow the instructions on array.org/ubuntu on how to install the custom kernel without net access.

[bo3skoor]

i don't know man. Linux world is adventurous.


i guess there is no NetworkManger i dont know if u mean network settings.

i think i will hold on for now and keep trying some time later

i appreciate ur time and ur help :p


i love open source idea and support it but i wish that Linux distro become more dynamic and user friendly.


its a good thing to let people play and tweak any open source projects but what i love to see is a newbie version for ppl like me which all require nothing but ease of use.

@ bo3skoor,
hey there buddy, i too have the same problem. I found it (wireless adapter) not working in 8.04. So thinking it might not have been a supported device, i upgraded to 8.10 (cd installation). And still it is not working. I would appreciate help on getting it to work from you or anyone else who got it to work somehow.

I found some link related to 'madwifi' drivers that help in supporting unknown cards to work in Ubuntu. But i also found it was restricted to Atheros cards alone. And i dont think the Asus 1000h has an Atheros card.

I am still looking for options for getting it to work.

Thanks

either check out forums at forum.eeeuser.com in the ubuntu section or update to Jaunty (final out this month and beta works like a charm on my 1000h) also you might want to try Ubuntu NBR

Hello to all!

I recently just came back to Ubuntu after being a Windows user for a long time. Now I am using Ubunut 10.10 Netbook. This seems to be the best answer for my wireless whooas!! for some reason I could not get the regular Ubuntu to get the driver for the adapter right even looking through all the forums i could dig into. But now with this edition, I have no troubles at all its worth the time to change to 10.10 Netbook!!

Hope this helps anyone out there that had the same trouble i did!!
