 * Nick Kossifidis patches (not working yet): http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mickflemm  * http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mickflemm Nick Kossifidis' patches (not working yet)

To have a completely DFSG free install of Debian on the Eee PC, we need support for the wireless chipset in the Eee. While some early work is being done on that by Nick Kossifidis, it is not ready yet.

Your options today, then, are:

  1. Do without wireless entirely
  2. Use a wireless USB dongle supported by DFSG free drivers
  3. Replace the internal wireless card with one that is supported by DFSG free drivers
  4. Help the ath5k project finish the work on ath5k
