ok. so it's running xandros .. new one on me. It's not freeware.. which I think is a very major mistake on the part of asus.. get away from one pay money proprietary lump of M$ junk.. to do the same thing again with linux.. wrong.. wrong!

I can't download it and install it on something to see if there is anything odd about the setup.. except for the free trial version.. and I'm not touching that.. dirty proprietary software (wipes hands and shudders)..

standard debian networking methods should work.

http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/254

eth0 dhcp .. will likely be the thing you need to set first to get the wired side of things up. crack that and we will dig into the wireless (I don't have any wireless hardware.. so I'm lost from there)

nice intro.. but apparently xandros uses a desktop tool for this?

The networking chipsets in the 900A should work out of the box, regardless of which distro you are using. And if you're using the stock install, even more so.

Have you made sure that the wireless is enabled in the bios and/or the Eee tray utility?

Have you got restricted mac address settings on your router?

Have you got DHCP enabled on your router?

should help.. you need to know your wireless settings.. the notebook should be working out of the box as far as the drivers for the hardware are concerned... does it have a wireless switch on it?.. check the wiki ;)
