Hi,
I managed to install tcl as a boot option on my eeepc 701 4g into the grub menu. Normally I run Easy Peasy (used to be ubunutu eee) on it.
tcl boots up fine (and damn fast) but I don't get net access, neither through wired nor through wireless lan. Neither of the interfaces is displayed in the ifconfig command. In easy peasy it looks like this:
~$ ifconfig

tcl only shows the lo interface.
I guess I need to install additional packages, but could not find any. As far as I know, the chipsets of the 701 are different from the ones of the 901, so anything for the 901 won't work. Has anybody managed to the lan to work?
