Tim Eschaton March 9, 2009 at 12:36 am: Is it still a netbook with no ethernet or wifi? O_o
mickikrimmel March 9, 2009 at 2:28 pm: It has both!
Tim Eschaton March 9, 2009 at 4:55 pm: Nah, I meant if you installed OSX on it. Link says ethernet and wifi don’t work.

I think they have Linux drivers for the wifi chipset, though, so it’s just a matter of time.
MikeNouveau March 17, 2009 at 9:05 pm: Micki, Did you install OSX on it then? Wondering if you are able to get the wifi running?
mickikrimmel March 18, 2009 at 2:57 pm: Nope I didn’t. I just bookmarked the link.
Ken Dunstone March 20, 2009 at 3:13 am: Like many of the eee’s, all that’s needed for wi-fi is a swap (though, admittedly, this is not as easy as some machines). $20 gets you the Apple-branded broadcom card on eBay. Teardown instructions here:
