[Discuss] ASUS EEE

[DR]

In mine the sound and wireless worked out of the box.

For wireless click on the network icon under the Internet tab and go 
from there.  I am using WPA-PSK supplied by some no name $15 wireless 
router.  The EEE PC does not seem to work with my normal home wireless 
where I have implemented WPA using  EAP and 802.1X (radius) authentication.

Sound  - I Used Music Manager under the Play Icon.  It worked after I 
told Music Manager where to find the files on a USB stick.


As for your other questions, there has been discussion of most if not 
all of them on http://www.eeeuser.com/.  Suggest you take a look.  It is 
a wealth of information.
