Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-restricted-modules

The Eee PC 901 has non-working wireless out of the box. Unlike the 700/701 versions the 901 uses an ralink driver. Driver can be compiled manually from:
  http://www.ralinktech.com.tw/data/drivers/2008_0325_RT2860_Linux_STA_v1.6.1.0.tar.bz2

Instructions for doing so can be found at:

As both wired and wireless do not work out of box this makes for a very annoying issue to fix.
