Thanks for the reply but I believe 900HA and 900A have different hardware.<br>
I just tried Squeze again and still no wpa connectivity and no ethernet support at<br>
all. I haven't tried loading firmware, is that my next step? I had Ubuntu 10.04b running perfectly on this system, so I know the drivers are out there. I'm brand new at Linux, but I like getting my hands dirty so I'm up for anything.<br clear="all">

Hello,<br>
<br>
I own a Eee PC 900a and I installed squeeze on an external SDHC Card in the CardReader slot following these instructions:<br>
<a href="http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/InstallUsingStandardInstaller" target="_blank">http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/InstallUsingStandardInstaller</a><br>
<br>
I was supervised that almost everything was working out of the box<br>
and I can only recommend to install squeeze. Thanks a lot to the people who made this possible!<br>
<br>
After the first boot eth0 and wlan0 where not working but after a second boot they did work!<br>
<br>
One pitfall with "iwlist wlan0 scan" is that this command only works if you first do an "ifconfig wlan0 up".<br>
With Gnome NetworkMangager I am able to join WEP and WPA encrypted wireless networks.<br>
Also my UMTS Stick worked out of the Box with network-manager.<br>
<br>
The only thing I noticed which is is broken ATM is<br>
that Fn+F2 will not only switch off wlan0 but also eth0<br>
<br>
I believe this is somehow related to this tool<br>
