You may want to look at:

It states that wireless should work out of the box from Kernel 2.6.34 - LM Isadora & Ubuntu are 2.6.35 +.  But it does go on & say
 "Ndiswrapper with the XP NE785H driver for atheros azurewave works to get the wlan working."

And then
"Tried *Ubuntu 10.04 netbook Remix i386* on my Asus Eee PC Seashell 1001PX. I have installed it on a USB drive and used that USB drive to bootup the netbook. Wi-fi apater was not detected and I have not tried any further manual config as I did not have sufficient space on the UBS key for persistent change. All other hardware worked fine. The no show of Wi-Fi killed my interest to install Ubuntu on hard disk as of now ."
