[Klug-general] Dongle

[Alan @ COMM-TECH]

I expected eepcs to have wireless built-in - it's a kind of basic 
requirement for a mini laptop innit? ..

If you dont already have one then: all you need is a 802.11a/g wireless 
card which has a chipset your kernel will recognise. Atheros and rt2xxx 
and well supported. Unfortunately most retailers usually do not specify 
chipset and only include Windows drivers so it is easiest to try someone 
else's first and buy one the same.

We got in a bunch of these Linksys WUSB54GR and they work "out the box" 
on kernels from 2.6.24 onwards. See your kernel version by getting up a 
terminal and typing:

uname -a
