and guitarholic for the keys

Requirements
1. Goto this link http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/ma ... v2.6.30.4/
download the following:
linux-headers-2.6.30-02063004-generic_2.6.30-02063004_i386.deb
linux-headers-2.6.30-02063004_2.6.30-02063004_all.deb
linux-image-2.6.30-02063004-generic_2.6.30-02063004_i386.deb
copy and save the files a USB
2. Download and install the ISO to USB via UNetbootin to 1005ha eeePC
3. Download the file http://www.jfwhome.com/wp-content/uploa ... -linux.zip to USB

Start Guide:
1. copy all linux headers to your home directory
2. Go to accessories>terminal and copy the code:
sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-2.6.30-02063004-generic_2.6.30-02063004_i386.deb linux-headers-2.6.30-02063004_2.6.30-02063004_all.deb linux-image-2.6.30-02063004-generic_2.6.30-02063004_i386.deb
3. Copy atheros file to home directory
4. double click on atheros file>extract to home directory
5. go to home directory press CTRL+H then go to src folder
6. look for kompat.h, right click on kcompat.h then press properties > permissions > change owner access by clicking the Read-only (below owner) and select Read & Write then close
7. Goto Terminal again and type (Note:change username to user name under your home directory):
cd /home/(username)/src
sudo gedit kompat.h
press CTRL+F type #define IRQ_HANDLED

change the following entries to:
#define IRQ_HANDLED 1
#define IRQ_NONE 0
press SAVE
8. Go back to TERMINAL and type (press enter after each line):
make
sudo make install
sudo insmod atl1e.ko
9. Reboot

FINAL STEP
goto terminal and type:
wget -q http://eeebuntu.org/Eeebuntu.key | sudo apt-key add Eeebuntu.key

this will allow your software to update itself
REMINDER:
1. Do not upgrade to 9.10
2. I am not sure about installing unauthenticatad stuff. Do a software update and your good to go

For skype the setting for speaker in/out must be hd intel (hw, intel 0) .. internal mic does not work but works well with external mic

Ethernet works well but still yet to test wi-fi

This works on the eee pc 1008p to.. You just need to upgrade the kernel with the 3 .deb packages to make the wifi work.

Thnx for nice guide!

Hi,

I tried this tutorial but I ran into a problem. In the src directory there is no kompat.h file but rather a kcompat.h file and when I look in that there is no line for #define IRQ_HANDLED. I installed the kernel without any problems but I can't seem to get around this one. You say to do CRT + H to show hidden files but I don't see any hidden files in that directory. I thought that maybe that file would be a hidden one but still no.

Even thought I couldn't find the specific file you say and change the #define line I went ahead and did the make witch failed because it couldn't fine the kernel source. I installed the header files so I thought if I rebooted then I would be able to do the make. When I rebooted I did the make again and it started this time but quickly failed giving more error messages. I assume that I get these because I wasn't able to find and change the kompat.h file or at least the line.

I don't know where to go from here so I am posting in here to see if someone else is having the same problem or has a solution I can try.

Thanks

UPDATE:

I went back into that file (kcompat.h) and searched threw the file line by line and finally found that IRQ_HANDLED line. For some reason when I searched for it it didn't come up. I re did the make and make install stuff and it is working great now thanks for the Great tutorial.

in all excitement I did a typo its actually KCOMPAT.H

slack42, I just manually searched the file using the find function once inside the file. Not sure if this helps but i was unable to bring it up using terminal and it worked this way.. i am a noob to eeebuntu and am amazed this actually worked!

Hi
I tried your guide but when I should type "make" and other rows below(in 8.) in terminal, it gave mi message:
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

I did everything exactly as is in the guide.But still not working
Could be problem with my 1001Ha? I have not got 1005ha...

Or could you tell what i do wrong?
Thanx
Petr

rebooting after step 7, hitting the escape button and choosing the freshly installed kernel gets me a little further...

still not there yet..

My computer gave me the same error message about the makefile not being found, but after reboot, it found my wireless, and I'm now connected... Thank you SOOO much!

Thanks I just bought my kids these netbooks. They had windows 7 but once again ubuntu delivers a easy superior replacement OS. Wireless support sure has become simple. The last time I tried wireless was back around 6.04 when you used ndswrapper to get a Dlink dongle working but it took me a few days. Anyway thanks for the guide and thanks to the developers for continuing to provide a quality product.

Hello, i'd love to follow this great tutorial but as it seems the deb files for the mentioned kernels are gone from the ubuntu server. I'm a bit scared to try out other ones, any ideas?

Since the time of the original post, new versions of the linux kernel have been released. It may not even be necessary to perform all of the steps now.

Yeah I know, but I just have memories from installing a new kernel on another computer and afterwards the graphics driver didn't load after boot. so I'm a bit careful before installing a new kernel. I'll probly try one from around 2.6.30.

I think it's up to .35 or .36 or .37
