To the EEE pc group:

I am a EEE pc 1000 user using Debian-derived Ubuntu and cannot connect with wireless-n.  Looking at the forums, apparently wireless-n does not work correctly with the 1.8.0.0 version of the rt2860 driver (a number of bugs have been reported e.g. https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/344022) currently in the Debian repos.  

The solution seems to be to replace the old driver with the current 2.2.0.0 driver, located at http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2 .

This driver also appears to be under GPL v.2.

Thank you for your work!
Miles
