Thanks for the replies.
There are several references to Asus eeePCs in the forum. Since I'm using a Asus 1000 eeePC, I thought the wireless would just work if I followed the instructions in the wiki.
If memory serves, mcnalu, I believe I saw a post where you were using a 1000HE. Maybe the eeePCs don't all use the same wireless module. Or maybe the rt2X00 module should work?
