Re: [opensuse] Re: openSuSE 11 on a EEEPC 701



Neil, lets talk about the EEEPC

Did SuSE recognize your network and wireless card? It seems to not have
found them on the install, or I installed it wrong?
The kernel is not picking up the modules in the installed version, and the
yast configuration is asking for me to either name the modules

.... uh ... i'd need to compile the kernel to really know that, or something
new called a SFkey or something like that?

I thought this wireless card was fairly well supported on the linux kernel
and with madwifi so I'm very puzzled how it can't identify
the wife chipset.

Hi

No, the network cards were not detected. I tried to get them working
with the Madwifi drivers, but didn't succede. In the end I heard the
Debian Lenny (beta) netinstall was able to get them working and that
was quite easy. The cards were detected by the installer and I could
install via them (only a 128 meg USB key needed. It might even be
possible with some old 64M one. The data comes over the internet.)

I haven't been using it a lot lately but I encountered no problems I
didn't cause myself, only the ACPI seems to fail at times (when
shutting down the light stays on)

All in all, I am quite happy with it, although I do miss Yast.

Neil



So your not running SuSE on it any longer? Its kind of weird for
debian to be ahead of SuSE in anything.
