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. [[TableOfContents]]

This page summarizes the status of support for models 901, 1000 and 1000H. Please do not use it as a bug tracking system. Instead, file bugs and apply model-specific usertags as described on ["DebianEeePC/Bugs/About"].

Please put no non-model specific information on this page. The general eee-configuration page can be found in [:DebianEeePC/HowTo/Configure].

[liable] We are working on supporting the rt2860 driver. A working source deb is now available in the eeepc.debian.net repository. The name of the package is rt2860-source and can be fetched with apt-get or your favourite package manager once you have added the repo. Instructions for adding the repository are linked from the main page of the wiki.

This can be built with module-assistant or from the tarball it installs. The easiest way is a simple

{{{
m-a prepare
m-a a-i rt2860-source }}}
Then install the built deb file.

To ensure that wireless still works after toggling it off and on by pressing FnF2:

 * put into /etc/modprobe.d/for-wireless line:
{{{
options pciehp pciehp_slot_with_bus=1 pciehp_force=1
}}}
 * add pciehp to /etc/modules to load it at boot start

== Configuration ==
See [:DebianEeePC/HowTo/Configure] for instructions to set up the webcam, multiple displays, etc.

== Hotkeys ==
If you want to see a message on your screen when you use a hotkey run {{{apt-get install aosd-cat}}} to install the OSD display'er. you then need to edit /etc/default/eeepc-acpi-scripts and change the following lines {{{ENABLE_OSD='no'}}} to {{{ENABLE_OSD='yes'}}}

If you are not going to install the latest alsa driver to get the front mic working you can change
{{{
VOLUME_LABEL='LineOut'
VOLUME_LABEL='iSpeaker'}}}
to

{{{
VOLUME_LABEL='Master'
VOLUME_LABEL='Headphones'}}}
See the section below about what to do if you are installing the latest alsa

== Front Mic ==
Build and install the latest release candidate of alsa as described in ["DebianEeePC/HowTo/Sound"].

== Touchpad ==
See ["DebianEeePC/Model/900#Touchpad"].

== Bluetooth ==
FixMe: need info. Is the report blow that toggling it doesn't work still valid?

IvanSanchez reports:

 * Bluetooth works OK, but only if enabled from the BIOS. There is no way (yet) of enabling/disabling it - the eeepc acpi module needs some patching (see http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?pid=304343). The bluetooth adapter is an USB device, much like the webcam.

== Power management ==
Install cpufrequtils to allow throttling (works like a charm with acpi_cpufreq).
