hmm thats odd. steve has the 1000ha and i have the 1000 series both without any issues......

both the wifi and ethernet are supported. if u boot from the usb again can u see if they are working?

also before book ensure they are turned on in the bios by hitting F2 on boot.

finally whats the output of uname -a in terminal? ie- which kernel are you booting from?

when i boot from usb again, it doesnt work too.

wifi and ethernet are enabled in bios too.

man i dont understand your last question, im beginner in linux, so...can u repeat it in some simply way?
im thinking about a change of distribution, but this eeebuntu is very ideal for my pc

Is it a 1000ha your using and definately the latest 3.0 kernel?

click, applications > accessories > then terminal

in terminal type

Code:

uname -a

and it will output some information about your system and the kernel it is on.

If possible have you tried a wired connection ? id connect with a wire and accept updates to get the latest packages and see if it makes any difference.

this is output information:

Code:

Linux XXX 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01>57>59 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/LINUX

i put wire to my pc and no reaction

it cant download packages

I'm having the exact same problem with Eeebuntu on my new 1005HA. I'm a total noob, but it seems to me that the drivers for the networking devices aren't loading properly, or maybe they just aren't loading at all.

with some ammends:
-since you have no internet u have to get to a computer which has, fire up the browser and enter one by one the addresses in the wget command
-get the files from where the browser downloaded them and put them on a stick
-copy them to your home directory on the eeebuntu machine. Any other directory and you have to make minor changes to the tutorial.
-follow the rest of the tutorial
