Work on supporting the 900 and other Atom-based models (1000, 1000H) has commenced. We have a source package for the atl1e ethernet driver at http://eeepc.debian.net/ and are working on producing debs of this and rebuilding the installer to include them so that an ethernet-based install on these models will be possible. | Work on supporting the 901 and other Atom-based models (1000, 1000H) has commenced.
