Hello,

Have scoured here and there for help but have not been able to find a fix for testing EB3 (or 4 for that matter) on a USB drive with wifi (RTL8191SE) working on my Asus 1201N. I'm very keen to replace Windows 7 with EB

I've tried EB 3 (It looks great!) on a usb stick with persitence thinking any drivers I install would get wifi working. I tried one suggestion by copying the essential drivers to /lib/firmware and rebooting but no effect. The sound and bluetooth work fine though.

Should I wait for the final release of EB 4 (with support for wifi drivers) and install on the hard drive or can I test EB on a usb stick with wifi working?

Much obliged for the help.

I hope this will help
You should post a little more information like ifconfig and lspci outputs..
or the end of dmesg when you plug your wireless usb interface

EB3 and 4 are totally unlike each other.. EB3 is ubuntu and EB4 is debian based.
Personnally I use 4.0 with debian's testing packages and some unstable. I have updates everyday and almost no bugs on my eeepc 1000H. I wouldn't change this distribution EVER, EB4 works great!

I am just saying that because testing EB3 will not help you to know if EB4.0 would work ... xD

Good luck

Thanks for the reply. I'd given up on an answer. You're right I should have supplied more info. I have an Asus 1201N, so I've got the Atom 330 and the ION chip. I don't have any reference in the forum as to if EB4 in its beta stage would work on a USB drive to test.

After trying EB 4 again my first problem stems from not being able to even get to the desktop as the X server can't work with ION. I'm currently trying to get Ubuntu Remix 10.04 working. I can get to the desktop but just having trouble with wireless.

I'll wait until EB 4 final is released and come back to test.
