Caroline;

FYI. I tried your Sugar on a stick.zip (Slax) using the on your sugaronastick web site , Linux instructions.

It boots fine and functions as a desktop and tries to connect to your web site at solution grove.net but cannot find either my wired or wireless network devices.

I am using the same EeePC900 I use for the regular Soas2-Beta.

Can anybondy please clarify this for me: What's this about? The SoaS-2 Beta itself works fine, but not some inofficial spin, which is based on a completely different distribution?

Honestly, this is really not the thing I'm going to look into! Closing for now, please reopen if I got the report wrong.

I am at SugarCamp Paris and I have two people seeing this bug with 2 eeePCs here. So we definitely still have it.

It works on the older ASU 701 model

  • summary changed from Network issues on EeePC900 to Network issues on EeePC901 and other netbooks.

Network does not work on EEPC 901 and the 5-24 snapshot. I saw this on a number of machines at Paris Sugar Camp.

Supporting new netbooks seems like a pretty high priority. How can this be accomplished?

Using kmod-rt2860 module from rpmfusion, wireless works on EEEPC 901/1000. Other netbooks will need to identify which wireless chipsets are used.

I tested this by installing Fedora 11 Preview to an SD card, then adding the rpmfusion repositories and installed kmod-rt2860. Due to a problem you can't setup rpmfusion on soas, it says you need system-release >= 11.

Closing as part of a recent bug triaging session. We are unable to include kernel mods and other additional packages from RPM Fusion. You can install these yourself, though. Once this support gets merged into the upstream kernel, it'll be available in SoaS, too.
