It's been a few weeks since I've updated the news, so I figured now is a good time.

Work is in progress to provide 100% support for the EeePC 901/1000/1000H devices. As of today, if you install the 2.6.24-20-eeepc kernel you may noticed that you have no ethernet or wireless support, no bluetooth hotkey control (Fn-F2), and a broken internal microphone.

Once complete, the following new modules will be available:

  • atl1e.ko: Wired LAN module ... (previously only available direct from ASUS's LinuxDrivers.zip
  • rt2860sta.ko: Wireless LAN module ... (previously only available from ralinktech.com.tw
  • snd-hda-intel.ko: Sound card module, ALC629 models ... (from code not yet formally released by the AlsaProject
  • eeepc-acpi.ko: EeePC Hotkey module, bluetooth support ... (from a patch released by daltona on eeeuser.com)

If you'd like to track the progress of this work, or to try out some of the experimental modules, subscribe to the thread:
