See the eeePC S101 topic, http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=3234.0,
The 900a and S101 have the same wireless. I once owned a 900a and tinycore wireless worked fine, both WEP and WPA.

 wireless-2.6.29-1-tinycore.tczm &  wireless_tools.tczl

I just successfully set up tinycorelinux to use wifi, Opera with flash player, sound, (that is, youtube works) and other basic functions for my eeepc 900A.

It seems as though some apps have support for other languages - any advice on how to quickly switch this machine to French wherever translations are available? I set it up 100% in english / US so far but I want to change it.

(apps installed are gnumeric, abiword, opera, emelfm, wicd. though wicd doesn't work for some reason, I have to use the command line to connect to wireless networking)

Can you provide details what is happening when you start WICD, what type of network you are conencting?

julianb:
I'm connecting to an unsecured wireless network, which has worked very easily for me on many linux and windows machines. The message I get is "Could not connect to wicd's D-Bus interface. Check the wicd log for error messages."

I don't know where the wicd log is.

Message indicates that D-Bus daemon is not running. Did you start wicd as it is in the info file?

Run 'wicd-start' as root to start wicd daemon

This command starts all necessary services required by WICD if they are not running, like D-Bus and HAL.

If you are connecting to an open network, you can try wifi-radar also if you are looking for a GUI or using few basic commands. For details see WIKI article
