Installing Ubuntu 10.04 (Beta) on Asus eeePC 1001HA

| Comments

Today bought a new EeePC (I broke my old and trust 901 model… ).

It came with Windows (of course). I was going to blat the whole disk with ubuntu, but decided to keep a dual boot for now.

Ubuntu 10.04 is out next month, so I went straight for the Beta release. Installation went fine (as usual). Only immediate problem was a lack of wireless LAN. After digging around some forum posts I found this helpful thread.

To install the drivers for the wireless network card I downloaded the following package.

Simple :)
