Guys if your password consists of letters and numbers then you have to select WPA in the encryption part

[MrFlyingDogg]

[ukdiamond001]

So glad it worked for you, however, I'm guessing there's a lot out there still sat looking at PENDING

i installed windows 7 and since then when i press fn and f2 to activate the wireless it doesnt work.. Iv checked keyboard drivers and they are fine iv downloaded drivers for the wireless but ut refuses to work. Any idea?

[lucas199400]

It keep being on "PENDING" all the time, i looked on google etc.. But noone gives an awnser. However this is a verry common problem i believe.

Do you got any idea on how to solve this? Without wireless connection i can just trow away my EEEpc..

Please reply!

[JohnMichell77]

This is a common problem.

There are 2 solutions, any one of which may work for you:

1: In the box WIRELESS SETTINGS there are TWO boxes which are pre set to AUTO.

Change the MODE box to INFRASTRUCTURE from AUTO.

2:

a) Give the Eee a Static (Fixed) IP in the router eg: 192.168.0.6

b) Change the Eee from DHCP assigned IP to Static IP.

c) Manually enter all DNS, subnet mask, gateway info etc. eg: 192.168.0.1 / 255.255.255.0

4. Change the Wireless Encryption from WPA to WEP 128 Bit.

If you update your eeepc you may have updated the linux kernal and this may involve you having to reinstall the drivers for your wireless. Look up how to do this online its not too hard.

thanks for the tutorial, but after it says starting it comes that my network is sleeping. do you know what do do?

[richbradshaw]

Try turning the wireless on and off, and start the process again.

Fn-F2 turns it on/off.
