** Description changed: asus has released a number of new pinetrail-based netbooks like the 1001p and 1005p that have a wifi chipset that still lacks OOTB support in all Ubuntu kernels. An upstream patch is available and I think it would be very important to have proper support for these netbooks' wifi in lucid. Users currently need to resort to ndiswrapper. discussion upstream: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15180 patch to cherry-pick: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-next-2.6.git;a=commit;h=5ffaf8a361b4c9025963959a744f21d8173c7669 + + status update + ======== + while we're all waiting for the devs to finally fix this, feel free to grab a patched kernel from https://launchpad.net/~r0lf/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/1123757/+listing-archive-extra
