RC1 on Asus Eee PC 1000H - but no wireless

[simonm]

Hi all,

I've installed the RC1 build 7100 onto my Eee PC 1000H (by booting to a usb stick) and all looks terrific, speed seems good, all drivers seem to have installed perfectly except for the wireless driver.

Has anyone else managed to get wireless working on this netbook?

Thanks

OK found the answer

1 - Download and install the wireless XP drivers from ASUS, but still nothing happened.

2 - I also needed to update my BIOS to the latest Vista compatible version, which turns on the Wireless nic & BlueTooth devices by default.

As soon as I did that and rebooted, Vista detected the wireless nic & installed drivers (and for a few other bits as well), and all is now working.

Thanks!
