Hi,<br><br>First, I would like to thank all the people who wrote the documentation on the wiki. It is a very good source of information.<br><br>I managed to install a debian squeeze on my eeepc 1000HA.<br><br>It runs quite well. I have a problem though with the wifi device. I cannot figure how to make it work.<br>
<br>The following page <a href="http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/Model/1000HA">http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/Model/1000HA</a> says that the Atheros card is now supported with the squeeze kernel.<br><br>I have checked and it seems I have an Atheros card:<br>

<br>Well as you can see (last line) there is an Atheros device. The strange thing is that only the ethernet controller shows up. Moreover the wifi is working like a charm with the Windows XP shipped with the eeepc. So there must be a wireless controller somewhere. Maybe it's simply the full name of the device that has changed but I doubt that because I don't see any AR5001 in this output and I believe it's the part number of the wireless controller.<br>
<br>I have installed wicd and the client doesn't find any wireless connection while I know there are dozen where I am. It successfully shows the actual wired connection I am using right now.<br><br>Here is my interfaces file:<br>

<br>the /proc/cpuinfo is the same as the one of the 1000HA wiki page.<br><br>Any hint is welcome, thank you for reading so far. I hope I have posted this on the right mailing list.<br><br>Thanks in advance.<br><br>Best regards.<br>
