I recently purchased an eeepc 1000ha, and I installed Kubuntu on it. The first time I installed, immediately added the repository for the array kernel, installed it, then did a system update. I got things like the hot keys to work, but I had a hell of a time getting wireless to work. After playing around with eee-configure -- which I didn't understand at all -- and trying to use ndiswrapper, I gave up and decided to try again. This time I installed Kubuntu, no array kernel, and immediately used ndiswrapper.

Wireless now works perfectly!

Because I was trying to use the array kernel before and I couldn't get ndiswrapper working, this makes me think that if I install the array kernel my system wireless will stop working again (I think the 1000ha uses a different card than most other eeepcs).

So my question is do I really NEED the array kernel?
