It's a long time since I took this laptop anywhere :-)  However, I took it to 
akademy 2007 and used it with the university network.  It simply uses the info 
in the configuration if the SSID matches, but asks for a key if it doesn't.

My memory isn't worth 2p these days :-) but I'm pretty sure that's what 
happened.  I've mostly used the EeePC on open networks, but I have used it at 
least once on an encrypted one, and the same thing happened there.
