Except for wireless card (damn rt2860... I changed mine for an intel 4965!) the eeepc line is pretty good with linux, and specially with arch ;) Make sure to check out acpi-eeepc-generic from AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=23318 Or even better, update to latest subversion ( http://code.google.com/p/acpi-eeepc-generic/source/checkout ) and if you found something wrong, open an issue on google code page: http://code.google.com/p/acpi-eeepc-generic/issues/list Good luck! ;) 2010/2/15 <fons@kokkinizita.net>

rt2860, which is the same as in the 901.
'iwlist wlan0 scan' detects the network, but I've not been able to configure it into a working state either manually or using netcfg (2.2.1)
So there maybe there is indeed a problem with 2.6.32 as mentioned on the wiki page for the 901.
Improved support for the rt28XX devices by Ralink has been commited to the linux-wireless tree AFAIK. You should try if you can get better results with compat-wireless.
I've got it working with testing/netcfg (and probably made some stupid mistakes before). It still files some complaints in /var/log/messages.log but otherwise seems to work OK !
