 Yves> I have started making use of this advice, with still a few questions:
 Yves> 1. When I am travelling abroad, do I need to travel with my own router,
 Yves> which I would have to clutch into a 100 MBs cable? Or can I hope to
 Yves> connect with the diffuse wireless fields one finds in airports and
 Yves> hotels?

Yes, it works without any problems. Just go to the networks icon and
use the Wizard to add a new network. Once the network is added (and
the password if you need one) you can just join it.

 Yves> 2. What is the meaning of WPA-PSK? in plain English?

One of the many types of encryption used by wireless networks. 

 Yves> 3. Where could I find the magic no name $15 wireless router?

Any wireless access point/router should work.

 Yves> I am surfing through http://www.eeeuser.com/.....

 Yves> I still have not succeeded in setting up the sound and am still stuck
 Yves> with the Wireless connection.. so here is the initial question again,
 Yves> with the hope that more replies will be forthcoming..:

In the very worst case reset to factory. I can't recall how to do it,
but the instructions are in the eeeuser web site).
