Hello,
I own a Eee PC 900a and I installed squeeze on an external SDHC Card in the CardReader slot following these instructions:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/InstallUsingStandardInstaller
I was supervised that almost everything was working out of the box
and I can only recommend to install squeeze. Thanks a lot to the people who made this possible!
After the first boot eth0 and wlan0 where not working but after a second boot they did work!
One pitfall with "iwlist wlan0 scan" is that this command only works if you first do an "ifconfig wlan0 up".
With Gnome NetworkMangager I am able to join WEP and WPA encrypted wireless networks.
Also my UMTS Stick worked out of the Box with network-manager.
The only thing I noticed which is is broken ATM is
that Fn+F2 will not only switch off wlan0 but also eth0
I believe this is somehow related to this tool
