I don't have en Eee of course so this is most useful feedback. Anyway, it's not a problem, all you need to do is hard wire it in once gOS is installed then download & install the NiceeePC Ubuntu driver & utility pack as follows > http://wiki.eeeuser.com/niceeepc#how_to_install Obviously things would be ideal were this incorporated by default in the initial gOS ISO, however as it's specific for the Eee's obviously that was never going to be. One would hope cross-machine netbook Wi-Fi connectivity will be addressed in the "Cloud" version (when it comes out). I suppose we'll just have to wait and see... http://www.thinkgos.com/cloud/index.html *NOTE* - Obviously this won't apply to a LIVE session. Howdy mate, thanks for taking the time to test.

Sadly, there's no wifi support for the Eee PC - and as far as I can tell, no workaround to get it fixed. So as much as I'd like to comment on your findings, I can't. I doesn't work. Which - to be honest - is a bit of a stumbling block for people that just want to install and get going. No such problems with Ubuntu Karmic Netbook Remix, which shall be staying on my Eee for the forseeable.

Why home users are brainwashed by Windows I will never know when there's free platforms like this. Lovely stuff. That’s the best Linux Desktop I’ve seen to date.
