Hello,
show must go on and so does the puzzlement...
Believe it or not, I have been enjoying wifi connection now for about 3 hours without any problem. But I am at work now... when I tried back home in the morning, the wifi still would not communicate.
So next I checked the encryption settings we are running here at work. There is WPA2/WPA with TKIP. Back home I have pure WPA2 with AES. This could be an indication, but how come it did not work with wireless security set to none?!
Why also enabling the nohwcrypt for the module did not help? It must be some strange combination of this eee, my router, setup, and everything together.
So to sumarize:
My home wifi setup (WPA2+AES) + this Asus EEE (it's 1000H model) + WinXP = no problem
My home wifi setup (WPA2+AES) + this Asus EEE + Xubuntu 12.04 = not working
My home wifi setup (no security) + this Asus EEE + Xubuntu 12.04 = not working
Work wifi setup (WPA/WPA2+TKIP) + this Asus EEE + Xubuntu 12.04 = no problem
Below is the output of selected commands (wifi is working at the moment, as I am connected to work wifi):

I will try later tonight to change settings at home to those here at work. Although I would not be entirely happy, it could solve the situation. But I am also up for the challenge for getting it to work no matter what the security set-up is.
Cheers,
B.
