I don't know how familiar you are with configuring the kernel, so here a small step-by-step howto: become root cd /usr/src/linux make menuconfig activate General Setup --> Prompt for development and/or incomplete drivers go back to main menu activate Device Drivers --> Staging Drivers --> Ralink 2860 Wireless Support go back to main menu and quit (save your configuration if asked) make all (this may take a long time ... get some coffee) ;) make modules_install cp arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-eee cd /boot rm vmlinuz ln -s vmlinuz-eee vmlinuz lilo reboot I hope this helps you. I don't know if the 1000 has the same chipset, but according to wikipedia it has ... Good luck! hi stephen,

If the 1000 has the same wireless chipset as the 901 (Ralink 2860), you have to compile your kernel to support it. I don’t know how familiar you are with configuring the kernel, so here a small step-by-step howto:

become root

cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
activate General Setup –> Prompt for development and/or incomplete drivers
go back to main menu
activate Device Drivers –> Staging Drivers –> Ralink 2860 Wireless Support
go back to main menu and quit (save your configuration if asked)

make all
(this may take a long time … get some coffee) ;)

make modules_install
cp arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-eee
cd /boot
rm vmlinuz
ln -s vmlinuz-eee vmlinuz
lilo
reboot

I hope this helps you. I don’t know if the 1000 has the same chipset, but according to wikipedia it has …

Good luck!

Unfortunately, everything worked except for my wireless! iwconfig didn't even have my wireless adapter listed. I can only assume this is a driver issue, but I couldn't find the driver anywhere. I tried installing Flux, Xfce, and KDE, just in case the less minimal window managers somehow included the package by default. I also tried using wicd and playing around with the appropriate rc.d files, but I could not get it to work to save my life. Most people seem to have their EEE wireless working without any trouble -- am I missing something? I'd love to know how you did it!
