[Debian-eeepc-devel] Wifi on eeepc 900 and Debian Lenny

[zongo saiba]

Hi,
Sorry for not replying earlier.

I found this on the net "
http://groups.google.com/group/fa.linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/a31e6748b951ca85/4963a8c26dfedefd#4963a8c26dfedefd
"
It is exactly what is happening to me when I use "pciehp.pciehp_force=1
option"
There is mention of a patch to the kernel there
http://mjg59.livejournal.com/2008/11/15/
What are you thoughts on that ?
How could I patch my kernel? There is no download link to it

Thanking you
