binaryhackerman Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 i got my eeepc 2g surf running the stock linus distro and cant connect to any encrypted wireless networks. all the ones i have tried have been ones that i have setup for friends and use WPA, the full range of printable ASCII characters in a 63 character long key. if anyone has a way to make this work please let me know Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 This looks like it is an issue because of linux and the drivers that are supplied.. I found a post on the eeeuser forums the link is below.. looks like this should help you.. http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?pid=42005#p42005 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
