Howto setup Networking (Wired and Wireless) on Asus eeePC 1005HA,1008HA in Jaunty

For Wired connection
First you need to download AR81Family Linux Driver from here at the time of writing AR81Family-linux-v1.0.0.10.tar.gz version (use a usb device,because you probably don't have network).I am providing the AR81Family Linux Driver download from here
Now you need to extract this file
tar -xzvf AR81Family-linux-v1.0.0.10.tar.gz
cd AR81*
cd src
make
sudo make install
sudo insmod atl1e.ko
That's it now you should be having your wired network is working
Note:- If you are using 2.6.30+ kernels you will need to modify kcompat.h from
#define IRQ_HANDLED
#define IRQ_NONE
to
#define IRQ_HANDLED 1
#define IRQ_NONE 0
Also, don't use the atl1c driver from 2.6.30+ as it doesn't work
You can check which linux headers you have to install using the following command
uname -r
For Wireless Connection
Once with the wired network installed, you can simply install this package to get the wireless network
sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-jaunty

I have a EEE Asus PC1005HA-M and the only problem found actaully is the sound is not yet high when i use the headphones. I check option but i’m not find this.
PS: I using Kubuntu 8.04 with ‘special’ kernel
thx… workin on Arch Linux Acer Aspire 4736
After installing your wired adapters the repository (apt-get) might bug you.
if it says that the backports cant be found or something similar do this:
apt-get update
Yea so I did everything, extracted files, cd into src, however when i get to the make…and so forth, I get constant errors…any help?
I have to do this on my hp-dv6 1045
Can you offer me help ?
All the drivers are installed but i cant use both of them at the same time
