I am not very surprised at this problem.
Going back a little I found problems with Ubuntu on my eee901 while 
Mandriva PWP always worked.

In order to answer specifically the problem in hand we need knowledge of 
the hardware.
On the previous eee machines we have, for the Wi-Fi the Atheros, RaLink 
RT2860.

My suspicion here is that the 1001px contains another device - please 
specify.

There is no possibility of answering the issue without this basic knowledge.
