At present both F8 and Puppy 3.01eee are installed, booting, and
running; but only the Puppy (from a USB stick, fwiw) can connect to the
Net. Fedora fails, both wirelessly and with an ethernet cable.

To judge from much discussion of these and other attempts, the
likeliest problem seems to be drivers, for eth0 and ath0.

Compiling is beyond me. Does anyone know if any pre-compiled
drivers for F8 for this machine are available anywhere?

Have you tried eeedora?

Among others, yes. Debian, Ubuntu, several Puppies, etc., etc. --
to where they're a blur now. All except F8 and the pup I mentioned have
had difficulties I couldn't overcome; but all I remember of EeeDora was
that it was of course the first -- not why I gave it up.

I'll try it again if I have to -- or maybe just connect an
external CD drive to the EeePC yet again, put the eedora CD into it, and
somehow copy a driver from eedora into fedora?? These installs do get
tedious -- and I *like* Fedora, just the way it is ...
