After doing a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10(Karmic Koala) on my new Asus eee T91 i was pleased to notice the wireless was working out of the box. However after a few days of use i noticed the wireless networking was very slow and would drop out while working with large files. After a bit of research and reading about similar problems in Ubuntu 9.04 I came up with the following solution.
While the wireless will work out of the box it will run slowly and intermittently drop out.
to fix this do the following:
Open a terminal and enter the following:
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
and then uncomment(remove the hash at the start of the line) these two lines.
deb http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic-backports main restricted universe multiverse
then save the file and close it.
next type:
sudo apt-get update
then:
sudo apt-get update
then:
sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-karmic
then reboot
Since doing this the wireless has worked perfectly, no drop outs and good speeds.
Hope this helps, i will have guides on setting up the screen drivers, touchscreen and compiz coming soon.
