This is a popular model with wireless and ethernet supported by ath9k and atl1c respectively, both of which are supported by the 2.6.32 kernel in Squeeze, but are not supported in Lenny.
Installation
It is recommended to install Squeeze, as this contains up-to-date drivers for this model.
Use the Standard Installer HowTo.
Alternatively, you may wish to install Lenny, but beware that you will not have a network during the install and need to upgrade your kernel using a kernel backport for that to work.
Use the Standard Installer HowTo and then consult the Upgrade HowTo for kernel backport upgrade instructions.
The old custom installer image described in our Install HowTo is not recommended, as it is a network-based installer and lacks drivers for this model.
Model-specific issues/status
Check the Model tables for any issues that apply to this model.
Booting (may not be required; reports of automatically loaded now)
In particular, 2.6.32 and later require acpi_osi="!Windows 2009" or acpi_osi="Linux", or else eeepc-laptop won't be loaded.
