I would just to drop a few comments on using Fedora 10 on my little Asus 701.
I'm impressed how well installation went and how it work nice in fullscreen on eee's small 7" screen.
After installing I had issues with wireless and webcam. I can start cheese and I can see the led turn on but I don't see anything in cheese window.
Wireless worked out-of-the-box with new ath5k module and I could see all networks and connected to my WPA network but I can't surf web sites :(
I tried pinging my adls router and I get a lot of drop packages and ping times over 2000ms :(
After compiling madwifi-hal and blacklisting ath5k wireless started working perfectly.
I also tried "Connection sharing" with eee conected through wire and created a new wireless connection for others to connect to. I tried with one client to connect to asus eee AP but it also got a lot of dropped packages :(
I posted a bug for this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=473576
Are there any asus eee users that have similar experience? Any tips/tricks for us eee users?
Cheers, Valent.

FYI, in case you are not aware of it: You can get madwifi pre-compiled from RPM Fusion. Getting it from there might be the best for those that don't want to compile or blacklist manually.

For Fedora 9 madwifi drivers from rpmfusion stopped working for me (I believe I also posted a bug on your mailing list) so I started manually compiling drivers. I'm using now the new madwifi-hal and not madwifi drivers.

Not all package maintainer read the mailing lists. Hence please file a bug (http://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org) if you encounter a problem. That is the best way to get a problem fixed -- then it'll not only work for you, but also "just work" for everybody else. And that's what all of us want, isn't it?

The driver for the wireless on the eeePC is built in the 2.6.27 kernel.

Yes it is but it is performing really poorly :( you can have a look at my bug report.

Just to make sure everyone knows: RPM Fusion knows about that and there were discussions to drop madwifi completely. Sooner or later (likely sooner!) that will happen. But seems a lot of people still want it, hence we offer it for now.

I've got it installed on one of the 900a's from Target - it's a tight fit with the 4GB drive, but it's there. One weird quirk was that I got partitioning errors during the install if I had anything but the original 512MB stick of RAM in it, Fedora WOULD NOT install with the 2GB stick I got for it in. I could get the eee spin of Ubuntu to install (even if the grub.conf was crack, it insists on telling it to boot from the wrong drive), and I could get the eee restore disk to work with 2GB of RAM, but not Fedora. Other than that I've got it pared down to pretty much the basics of what I want and it's got about 400MB left. I'm using the LXDE window manager and I like it enough that I'm using it on the bigtop also, it's rather like a prettier version of KDE3 and minus the futzing with the panels that I was doing with Gnome and XFCE to make it behave how I wanted it to. But it runs FireFox, Logjam, Twitux, and Pidgin, plays Flash and mp3s, and Abiword doesn't hog too much room, so if I actually was using it as something other than a web terminal it'd be there.
