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. Ruben
