openSUSE installs fine on the EEEPCs. Have a look into the wiki and you will find everything you need, including the drivers, which are currently spread over multiple BuildService repositories.
With openSUSE 11.1 the current EEEPC hardware should work out of the box.

It didn't but I'm going to reinstall it more carefully. The thing is, if the network drivers aren't in the kernel then drivers on the repositories aren't that helpul.

FWIW - from the WIKI
openSUSE 11.0
^^^^
Different version?
The wiki entry has orginally bee written for openSUSE 10.3. But all drivers are available for openSUSE 11.0, too.
Some days ago you could find every package needed for an openSUSE 11.0 installation in the BuildService, especially in the home:appleonkel:EEE repository. Unfortunately this temporary is broken with the latest kernel- Update for 11.0 and two driver aren't available from Factory anymore, so that they cannot be linked from there. So, the best you can do now is to stick with the 2.6.25.16 kernel and take the latest compiled packages from the home:appleonkel:EEE.
I'm trying to install them now. Is 1.1 out? I just downloaded the DVD 2 days ago.
openSUSE 11.1 is in beta. You can try to install it, but if you want a stable system, you should stick with 11.0. I will make an installation of 11.1 Beta3 next week but only on a SDHC card for testing.
I'm not sure how to install the madwifi driver. There is are several levels of changes which are confusing me not the least of which is that the RPM program seems to think everything is not installed while Yast seems to know everything is installed.
I'm not certain what the name of the madwifi driver even is or where it was installed in order to depmode it and modprobe it.
You need the madwifi-ng package. Herbert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
