I'm here about Debian (Squeeze) on Asus-EEE. I was the post on the

website, which says that some EEE are not supported, and mine don't

seems to be on any list (900HD).

I think I have a rtl8180 as WiFi component (dmesg | grep wireless),

and this driver seems to be supported on many distributions (debian

based) but not on the netinstall iso.

The rtl8180 module has been in the kernel for a number of years so it

should be on a Squeeze netinst.iso. You do not have to supply firmware

for it. Please see

http://wiki.debian.org/rtl818x

Oh ok... I've tried to install debian 6.0.5 with a friend's computer as router, sharing wifi connection on ethernet.

I'm confirming the module with:

dmesg | grep Wireless

[    2.514297] r8180: Wireless extensions version 22

But actually, when I run "debian-6.0.5-i386-netinst.iso" written on a USB stick (expert install), and when I select "configure the network", it only shows me the DHCP check and a "IP address prompt". I know that when there is 2 interfaces detected (Ethernet + Wireless), it asks you which one to configure and if it's WiFi, it asks the Access-Point name and the IP addresses.

So do you know what can be my issue? Or how to find my issue (strange question) please?

Thank you for your help.
